amos and weight and breeding
Amos was a podgy 370 grams when I got him in June and since being in my care has lost 100g!!!!
I know he does not eat much which I am a little concerned about but he spends all night in his wheel.
270 is not a bad weight so I am not unduly worried but I would like to see him fatten up a litttle as he was a lovely solid hog when i got him.
I am starting the normal routine of higher fat biscuits etc but someone who breeds hogs that is not a member on here suggested it might be because he wants to breed. Has anyone heard of that happening before??? Or maybe happening in other animals?
Norbs my other male is roughly the same weight however he is a smaller hog so it doesnt worry me the same. When he was paired with wish he stopped eating and went down to 185g but piled it on once the deed was done.

How we waste our precious time Marching in the picket lines That surround those striking hearts. How the time is never now, And we know who we should love, But we're never certain how. I know, You might roll your eyes at this, But I'm so Glad that you exist.

Re: amos and weight and breeding
your welcome, glad we could help 



Sick of themselves, And sick of their slums, Give everybody a gun, And put it on the television, That's Reality TV, I'd pay to see, Not lobotomized celebrities and queue of wannabes, Line up Moneys the church, Fame is the steeple, Like doctor the verse indoctrinate the people, What you try to do to me? It seems to come so naturally, How you annoy me, How you destroy me
