Murphy, my gorgeous Kune kune boar has, quite frankly, never been really fit & strong - he's had one problem after another
(But I dont want to part with him
)
The latest problem is that he become really thin, worse than when he was comatose & bottle-fed glucose solution for nearly a week.
He is keen on his food, and since being back with the girls, even eats his veg (he didnt before!)
his tusks are now quite long - could it be that his developing tusks are making it hard for him?
he takes a good mouthful of food, but often walks inside the shed to chew & doesnt seem to snaffle up as much as the others (even though he takes bigger mouthfuls)
he is just over a year old - how long before his tusks are fully grown & "settled" in his jaw?
and any suggestion of a good way to build him up?
(they already have: pig meal, shredded beet flakes, mixed flakes, grass, hay, willow branches, veg, fruit, weeds, cooked potatoes)
thanks
