This is interesting. I bought 3 hogs last year in Dec. I got 2 to eat scented (tuna water) pinks. The third just wouldn't eat. I told the person whom I bought it from and he said "oh.. he may be brumating." I didn't believe it because my temps were up (90 hot side, 78-80 cool side) which is pretty warm for a hog.

So about 2 weeks ago my friends fish got chomped on by its aquarium mate. so I took the 2/3s of a cichlid and barely wiped a pinky on it and WHAM the dang hogs loved it. All 3 eat with much gusto with this fresh Fish/Cichlid scenting.

My hogs eat at least once a week now but normally twice a week. That is 3 going on 4 weeks straight.
