Tri Hog info

Now that I see these things for sale rather consistently, could you please help me understand their care?

Are they a tropical species? Are they found in cooler, higher elevations or warm lowlands?

Can they be exposed to cool night temps? (My Westerns are in a shed that gets in the high 60's at night, and they seem to thrive with that.)

Do they require high humidity? Moderate OK?

Any other specific care differences from Western hogs?

Thank you.

Pretty much the same care, but would not go that low in temps. They are a neotropical species.

Thanks for the info, that was easy.

I'd like to see your website, but it isn't connecting or else cannot be resolved. Tried days ago, too. Can you investigate please so we all can give you tons of business?
