gohog and ken,

the muscle tone is great! she looks and acts perfect. she just doesn't want to eat consistently enough to grow. actually, she eats fairly consistently, but not often. she is beautiful red hog. it's just a shame to see her not thrive.

scenting and braining only worked once, then she would not go for it again. she eats f/t, but only about every couple of weeks, just like anything else. tried the paper bag without success.

fr, i did not and will not read through your rambling about "how it's all about the snake" and get baited.

ken and gohog, thanks for the replies. i figured i wasn't alone. i wonder if some are just destined to not thrive? maybe some others will post and see some replies.

jonathan
