Hognose drinking

Who has ever witnessed their hog drinking water? I have never caught mine in the act since I've had him.

Many people have reported on this forum that they have never seen their hognose drink. So that's not unusual. One person claimed they could put the hog's head near water and it would drink.

I have witnessed my hogs drinking many times. Here is a pic of one of my females right before I put her down for the winter. She was quite thirsty, so I sat her down and snapped a couple shots.

I've caught my little western drinking maybe once or twice in the 9 months I've had him.
