Yep, they are definitely eating more this time of year. I’ve noticed it too.

You’re definitely right about the hoglets loving to share food. I saw one come out of the house where she’d been napping, go into the house next door where the other one usually sleeps then come back out and go to the feeding station. She spent another couple of mins apparently trying to locate her friend, then once she found them, they both went to the feeding station together. I couldn’t see any reason for this behaviour other than sociability, unless maybe the hoglets feel safer in pairs or groups? The other hog she was looking for is grown to almost adulthood now, but still seems friendly with the little one.
