I have at least 2 hogs in the garden (I live in Overton) and my trail camera footage shows they both have fleas. Visually I can see that one has a big bare area, free of spikes , on his side – it comes up white on my IR footage. They are constantly scratching themselves, to the point they sometimes fall over with the effort.
Can someone offer some more detailed advice on how you can inspect them up-close without frightening them away forever?
Do I stay up until I hear them enter the garden (10pm my bedtime, gulp… 🙂 and then pick them up and bring them to a bright room to check out how badly they are infected?
Will they be spooked by the experience and never visit again? That would be a shame as I’ve splurged out a lot of money on a wooden feeder and a seperate hibernating house… Thanks for any advice 🙂
