Frank,



I asked some questions a long time ago. One fellow replied that he was keeping hogs using overhead heat sources, because of their diurnal habits. He used a burrow-able substrate so they could also go "underground" but still be under the heat source. He said they need 95-100 deg at one end, and ideally the 60s and 70s on the cool side, which is only achievable if the cage is large enough and the room temp stays reasonably cool, or the floor is cool and the cage rests on it.



Aside from that, I think the keeping of hogs follows the 82 deg rack recipe for the most part, because results are deemed good enough. And the hog hobby is one big race to produce more varied multi-morphs, so not many want to deviate from what they are doing.



I think you are the guy to test things out. Please post results from time to time. This stuff is interesting. Wish I could, but I can't these days. I was shocked at your earthworm comment, but I guess folks have used earthworms as scent to get babies started, so it makes sense. Adults too?
