I wouldn't. Hogs especially do better on smaller meals. Like in humans its better to eat smaller meals more often than larger meals.

good q,but i want to know about the a....can i ask why you suggest smaller meals,what experience are you judging this by,and/or what have you read about it?i find my simus to respond more strongly to 'beefier' meals,e.g. sm.fuzzy rats as opposed to a mouse fuzzy that is obvioulsy a bit smaller....
also-i opted for the fuzzy rats as opposed to an equal sized mouse(i.e. hopper) because the rats give you more meat/less hair per ounce-i'm thinking the results being easier digestion for the hoggie,and less of what they can't use/digest anyway....but i'm sort of new to keeping hogs so......thoughts?thanks
