Thanks Nic. This is important advice. We still have 4 hogs in hutches and want to release them as opposed to them overwintering with us. There is no doubt in my mind that hogs kept too long in captivity become prone to cage stress which can trigger another round of ailments. As long as sensible criteria are met it is definitely in the hogs interests to be released. One or two of mine are showing signs of wanting to hibernate so we’ll be making an early decision on them.
