Now we are talking, yes, normal healthy hogs have a wide range of things they normally consume. But, those Bar-g-Q hogs did not eat salad, or fruit, or bugs did they? So they do have a certain range of what they consider food.
I am going out today to see if the wild hogs are up and moving yet. I have not see them attempt to eat a sign post or tree. Hmmmmmmmmm Again, they do have a range of what food is.
Which brings up the question, why are these neonates so picky and have to be tricked? Even some larger captive hogs require this trickery. Why is that?
That is my question. As one that has worked with tens of thousands of neonates, and works in the field with the same. I do question that? Once while living in Fla. I was rehabing a S.A. hawk. I was cutting the fat off of beef heart on my porch. I had to go to the store(for the wife) When I came back, their was a neonate cornsnake eating the beef heart. Hmmmmmmmmmm Lessons of reality.
One thing i learned in the field is, colubrids do not nest to just hatch the eggs, they find nesting areas so that the neonates can survive. Heres a funny thought, how come keepers hatch eggs in particular conditions, then as soon as the egg hatches, CHANGE those conditions to something else? This is a very serious question, do you have an answer?
Yes, Gregg your right, healthy normal hogs will eat just about anything. But many here do not know that.
Its so hard to get any of you guys to actually talk about the hogs and not attack people(just because they think differently then you)
My whole approach on this is based on what you said. A well adjusted individual will consume a wide varity of prey items. The question must be, how do you make a picky(not well adjusted) individual, into a well adjusted individual? Any ideas??
You see sir, that is the question?
Of course, me being me(FR) I have to go a little further. It appears that most here, blame the animal for being picky. That is, most of the neonates do fine, so this picky individual is WRONG. You KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I am sensitive about blaming animals for our own lack of understanding.(Do you know where what YOU KNOWWWWWW comes from?)
Those picky individuals CAN be indicators that husbandry is marginal.
Its my opinion that husbandry should be looked at first, then use trickery as a last resort. But so far on this site, shoe box(recipe) husbandry is protected as if it was saintly.
I do understand that it would be very difficult to learn from the animals if you cannot see them or offer them anything or anyway to teach the keeper. So the keepers tend to learn "only" from eachother. Then "only" believe in eachother. Is that whats going on here? Is that why I am hated? because I believe in the animals and not so much other keepers? So is this religious prosecution? hahahahahahaha that is seriously funny
Ok, enough of this, got to go to church, going hogging. Later
p.s. If you guys would talk more, then I would make these replys shorter, hahahahahahahahahaha
