Last year, I cooled some kings and some hogs in the same place with the same cages. Like you mentioned.
It was very entertaining, The kings were feeding regularly, and at the same temps the hogs thought they were on the north pole. In those cages, the whole cage is cool with a back heat strip. In the spring, I simply turn on the heat strip in the spring. That did not work with hogs at all. They needed the whole cage heated up before they became active.
Simply put, the hogs needed to be from 85F up to feed properly(daily) the kings are about ten degrees less.
This year will be fun again, as I have more hogs going, hmmmmmmmmm and some kings.
