| yeah sounds good to me . There are lots of differing opinions on when to feed hognoses, altho they have a fast metabolism and young hogs can feed every 3 days , when they move up to hoppers and the likes , every five days gives them a break from constantly digesting . I found that they can refuse when offered sooner |
