I have had 2 hogs die becuase they would not eat. The first one never ate and just wasted away no matter what I tried. The second one ate the first time, then took a few weeks off, then ate again, then took the next couple of months off. He became very skinny so I force fed him as a last resort and he died within 3 hours(like Andy said, too stressful I found out later from the breeder) The female I got with the male is doing great. She eats everything and is growing well. It sucks going through a "learning curve" with them but hopefully it will work out. Good luck. EP
