Did you get a necropsy or at least have someone to look at them to determine a cause of death? It would be nice to have followups on hognose deaths so that we can get a feel for what they are most sensitive to.

>>That makes perfect sense, but in my experience, the ones i lost this year were all great eaters, no periods of fasting at all, even when gravid.Most of my female hogseat right up till thier pre-lay shed, I have one who stops eating as soon as she ovulates.
