hello,

about 3 weeks ago i posted about a female western that i have that would only eat about every 2 weeks. well, i finally found her "tweak", i believe is how troy put it it was frustrating for me because i have 10 other hogs in the exact same setups that are thriving.

she has eaten 5 meals in 2 1/2 weeks! yeah! lol i put her on a separate heat strip and cranked the temp up to 100. she has slammed 5 live fuzzies in a row without refusal i guess she just wanted the warmer hot spot. my other hogs have a 90 degree hot spot. i had tried live before, but she would only take them along with anything else i offered every 2 weeks. i am a very happy camper that i found the right combo for my little one.

she is a beautiful red het toffee. hoping this trend will continue and she will continue to grow and thrive. thanks for the advice before...

jonathan

p.s. going to daytona in a couple of hours. have a couple of empty bins. will see what happens
