#28853

I’m only seeing one young hog for the last few evenings, and nearly all the wet food is being left. I don’t have a camera (are they expensive and/or complicated?) so I can only go by what I see before I head to bed! I’m new to all this but recognise the little one that still comes, she(?) only eats the biscuits but manages more than half a cupful and sometimes dozes off laying on them.
What concerns me is that this hoglet has become too dependent on the biscuits, is that possible? Seems a lot of food for that tiny tummy, will it be too full to bother searching for it’s own food? I didn’t realise I’d feel so responsible when I began feeding them, though it’s the same with the birds ! I did make 2 houses and they are sited behind the sheds with lots of leaves and hay nearby, but no idea if they are occupied.
