Hey simbo65
That’s such great news to hear big leg has come through his ordeal. Well done you!
What a dilemma you now have! I would be just the same as you. But please remember your advice to me “you can only do, what you can do” 🤗
If I lived near you I would offer my assistance over the Christmas period I wouldn’t mind at all – So I was thinking, is there no one on the forum living near you that would help!
Quite by chance I have found there is another hog obsessionist in my area and I am hoping we get to meet. I am sure there will be a chance we will be able to help each other out with feeding the hogs when we are away- fingers crossed anyway.
It would be great if someone else could share the Care with you Simbo65.
Changing the subject slightly, your not going to believe my great news ! Do you remember the little one that I fully intended to rescue a few weeks ago? Im sure you will remember I stayed out in the cold for two nights – all prepared for weighing and rescueing the little hog that was no bigger than a tennis ball at the time- but then when I didn’t see it I assumed the little thing had perished.
Well Tiny is back! ❤️ Still not very big but twice the the size it was on first sighting – I thought again about weighing, but decided as it’s a regular now and seems to have moved in, I’m going to let it take its chances and monitor its progress.
It’s living under the shed, Hetty has vacated the shed and moved into a hog house – so I’m wondering if Tiny has taken up residence in Hettys old nest? Anyway seems fine, very active, eating well so we shall see.
Big Bruiser and Hetty now in hibernation- just Cutie and Tiny out scoffing every night, but they are certainly packing the food away!😂
Hard to believe Cutie was under weight when first weighed and now Cutie is as big as Hetty!
I’ve got all good eaters here!😂
Take care, simbo65, best wishes to you and that brave little hog big foot – I think that one is a survivor so stop worrying and remember all the great things you do for the hog world! X
