Glad to answer your questions. First I will give you a $1000.00 if you can find a post where I said small boxes were OK. Next in regard to temperature, I only know about myself. When I first got my hogs (2010)I read everything I could find. When I read a care sheet (I believe it was Lance's)& say the temp's he used I thought "what" these are US snakes not Africa. Then I remembered I have relatives all over Kansas & Oklahoma, I have been there in the summer. So I tried it & bingo, even though they were all eating I could see a big difference in their vitality. As for other people I can only guess, when you see the same "temp requirements" written in 10 different place (even if it wrong) that comes from the "leaders" you believe it to be true. This is a problem in all walks of life.
I have never disagreed with you that our husbandry has room for improvement, only that is not a 100% answer to all the issues. Which you finally expressed (although your %'s are only conjecture but I will not challenge that). With that best wishes.
