Hi Troy,



Thanks again for your input. Like I said in a previous post "we only have 1 year of experience with hogs".



Yes, we do buy hatchlings for the most part. She was the biggest one we have ever recieved at 88 grams. She was sold or advertised a a yearling also. We got her from BHB and I've heard Brian say (and I cannot quote him) something about it not being of any advantage to brumate sub-adults or those not of size or age to breed. A few breeders we have talked to do not brumate at all. Some of them are very successful too.

Also, you are not the first to mention getting them young. Or that a move later in life can really disrupt them. The thing is right after we got her she ate like a champ. That is the puzzling part to us.



FR-

Said something about a pinky pump.... Are you famailiar with what that is?



Thanks,



Brock and Jen
