Interesting. I guess this means that 'human-provided' food is constantly available to them. Does this stop them from foraging/digging I wonder? Ours get fed twice a day but they are frenzied when we go to feed them and I'm actually a bit scared of them now. This is the first time we've had pigs and 'those who know' seem to say that first-timers always overfeed their pigs and we're trying not to. But I don't want them to be hungry either. Can any other pig folk tell me their experiences, please?

I don't see why it would have to be full all the time. Even with corn available 24/7 pigs will still root for worms.

No. No. No. No. Changed my mind. Wanna come down. To see this tiny ad:
