>>I will be patient, and I won't try to force feed. I have never heard anything about hogs eating each other...I asked the breeder that I bought my female from if it was ok to house them together, and he said that it was fine, and that he kept all of his together. Thanks for all of your help!





I don't want to rain on your parade, but folks had a canpition fit when they found out I was keeping my two BOYS together because it's USUALLY the females that tend to be cannabilistic.



I only kept them together about 2, MAYBE 3 weeks - and they were hatchlings, and I fed them seperately, waited at least an hour and then WASHED them prior to putting them back together again. And the MINUTE my breeder learned I'd gotten a second 10g tank, he pushed like you'd never believe me seperating the boys. And I did.



I don't know who your breeder is but if s/he's keeping mixed Hoggies, male and female together, I wonder why we've not heard about this? This ability and success to keep Hoggies together? You'd think they'd crow about their success and let other people know what they'd accomplished...



Please don't keep your Hoggies together unless you are doing so to breed. And once your female is bred, get the male out.



Hope this helps.
