She seemed to calm down a little last night and was crawling all over my husband. I think she will be his chore ☺ Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326069783582536184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377621409604161109.post-73849746957722014032013-03-06T06:53:08.263-06:002013-03-06T06:53:08.263-06:00We raised a feral piglet a couple of years ago. H...We raised a feral piglet a couple of years ago. He turned into a lovely Kalua pork about 5 months later. Hubs grew up in Hawaii and wanted to do a whole-hog luau.<br /><br />You need some goat milk for her. Goat milk will help her settle in and grow fast. Ours was never all that friendly, which suits me fine it makes them easier to butcher that way. Also, check her with a flashlight for lice or mites. Get a good livestock dust to sprinkle her and her pen with...most of those feral hogs have some sort of external parasites and if you get rid of them now it will save a lot of trouble later.<br /><br />Also, be sure to wash your hands well after handling her or her food pans. Wild hogs can carry brucellosis. Nothing to be paranoid about, but keep some hand sanitizer handy or just good handwashing.<br /><br />Good luck! Just for the record, I'm jealous! Those pigs make some mighty fine eating!Queenacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18124139331121569768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377621409604161109.post-41951747821927653762013-03-05T18:28:04.283-06:002013-03-05T18:28:04.283-06:00I will be eager to find out what it is! :-)I will be eager to find out what it is! :-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020604933621899108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377621409604161109.post-33116728901874597692013-03-05T18:04:44.574-06:002013-03-05T18:04:44.574-06:00I know what it iiiiisssss, I know what it iiiiiiis...I know what it iiiiisssss, I know what it iiiiiiissssss!!!!<br />:)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377621409604161109.post-36585258293603010832013-03-05T18:00:38.419-06:002013-03-05T18:00:38.419-06:00I hope you share some pics!
