Hi Nic
Thank you so much for your reply. I haven’t seen the little hog for 3 nights now but we’ve had rain so hoping there’s lots of natural food to find. There are 2 other regular visitors that have an hour or so of of circling, snuffling each night so guessing m & f ! but they usually end up sharing a dish of food eventually! I can only compare to those two healthy looking hogs to the other – which is what concerns me.
The lady at the rescue centre said size/weight isn’t important now and also it wouldn’t be wise to pick a hog up as it might be pregnant this time of year (I’m very reluctant to stress any animal unnecessarily of course).
I will follow your advice to ask a different rescue what they suggest – hoping I get another visit of course. There are very few rescue centres in my area sadly. I was hoping a rescue centre may have been familiar with this little hogs behaviour, in case it’s a neurological symptom due to a high infestation of external or internal mites?
I do appreciate this forum and the help offered, plus love all the different stories from others.
