Is there any benefit to brumating baby hogs in their first winter instead of keeping them warm and well-fed ? Obviously it's more natural for them to hibernate than to feed all winter, and some herps (box turtles, e.g.) are thought to be better breeders down the line if they hibernate regularly growing up.
thanks,
Craig
