Lost piglet..what do I do?

[Latestarter]

Sorry... wasn't trying to upset you further... just wanted you to be aware... I wouldn't worry too excessively about something happening to her. Believe it or not, pigs are pretty danged smart, which is why the very real and large issue with feral hogs... They are survivors. I hope she comes back or that you're able to find her. It's just... if she doesn't want to be found the deck is severely stacked against you.

Oh I know! Her turning into a wild hog is definitely a concern of mine. Hopefully she wanders up.

 

[Leann4417]

She was back in my yard today! Still haven't been able to catch her..but she is getting close. Im going to try a trap tonight to see if I can get her

Leave food out for her.

That's a positive turn of events. Do you have a live trap? It might be the easiest way to catch the little darlin'.

 

[Leann4417]

Yes. My husband is bringing them over from our other land. My other potbelly doesn't seem to care too much for her. She runs up to him and he chases her off. If he would not be so grumpy I could get her in the pen.

I believe pigs are a lot like other animals and need to be "properly introduced"... Kinda close and able to see each other, but not necessarily in the same space right off the bat. Someone dropped a young person here with me unannounced, I'd probably be a little grumpy too Hope you're able to catch her!

Hoping you're able to catch her!

Once I got the big pig out of the cage for a while I was able to bait her into the pen. Then I caught her up! She was not very happy to say the least! But she is no longer loose!

That's fantastic! So glad she's home again!
