Hi leighw

You are absolutely right – it is good practice to clean the hog bowls daily. Whilst hogs may encounter all sorts of bacteria, etc. naturally, they do not normally, either gather in such numbers as we encourage by feeding, nor eat from the same dishes. So if there were any infections around they would likely spread more easily.

So well done keeping on top of the hygiene. But hot soapy water well rinsed should be ok for general purposes.

Good luck. Hope you continue to enjoy the hogs’ visits. Happy hog watching!
