Been seeing lots of signs, but been a while since I have seen both hogs in person. Set up a trail camera too but seem quite good at doing a dash across the beam plus also caught a cat eating some of their biscuits. Following on from my other post ‘ having an altercation’ really pleased to see both hogs back. Will post photos. They are both very large!! Interestingly, my original hog seems more aggressive and crashed the other hogs dinner for 1. It didn’t seem to each that much and headed off exploring, walking past the other saucer of food. The second hog who actually looks slightly larger, then stayed and polished off the food and the other saucer which is in another location nearby. I had covered the food to stop the cat if it returned, but the hogs pushed the cover away ( it’s a hanging basket liner which seems to deter the cats- a suggestion I’d seen somewhere) I did lift it off them as they had both squashed in, something I was hoping to avoid in case it caused more aggression but have seen them leave before as it happened previously. I am sure competition for food is normal to a degree especially for adults and have 2 other saucers food so there is plenty for all but they initally seem to go for the same one.Pleased to see both back think I will set up a covered cat proof feeding station minus a drainpipe entrance as I think they would get stuck. I did give them a bit more food as had been putting small 20g handfuls, as per the food packet, not sure if they are just greedy or not much food around as it’s gone cold, but one gobbled rather a lot though given their size maybe they needed more ?
