I just brought many of my hogs out of brumation...some are feeding ok but many are refusing food...both males and females...what gives anyone else have experiences like this?
Should I raise the temp or ??

I'm having the same thing now, I'm not worried though they could easily wait a few weeks before they start to loose some weight.

My breeders have been out for two weeks. My females have taken their first and second meals, no problem. My male is hooding up, hissing, striking with his mouth closed, etc. If he doesn't feed this weekend, I'll have to make some changes and try again.

I'm not worried, not yet. I've been breeding hogs for several years. I've always had males that were good feeders and would breed all season long. This particular male has always had this type of attitude. I was just hoping he would out grow it. He's going into a shed cycle right now so he probably won't feed for another week. I'll still try but I don't expect him to take anything.

When I brought out my hoggs, they refused to eat for two weeks. Now the are eating machines. However I am expecting them to stop anytime now since they will want to breed.

Yous hogs sound normal to me.

Good Luck:

I have been breeding reptiles for almost 12 years now, and every year I still get the pre-season jitters...LOL
