Hello,

My wife has 3 western hogs. The two females are feeding just fine, but the male has not taken any food in about 1 month now. Their conditions are all the same and the male in question is a c.b. 2008.

They are in a glass enclosure, low large water dish, some newspaper/aspen bedding to burrow. Temps are around 78-84 w/ a hot spot of about 88-90. Night temps are about 5 degrees lower...

The male that’s not eating has only been feed f/t mice pinkies/fuzzies. I tried putting him a paper bag overnight with no success. Not too sure if anyone has any tricks/methods to get them feeding?

Any suggestions and/or comments on the set up?

Thank you,

Eric
