howdy...hows it going?

Not too bad I guess. Pinched a nerve in my lower back sucks though. Figures... 20 million feet of snow this winter and not so much as a pulled muscle from shoveling it all, but trying to towel dry off the dog from being out in the rain and I screw my back up.

Thank you. and yes, my hogs are rodent eaters. my big black female eats fuzzy to almost weaned rats usually and when I don't have rats she'll take sub-adult to adult mice. She has always eaten rodents from day one -- unscented. The smaller dusty rose (originally a high red hatchling) is on mouse pinks/fuzzies...he doesn't quite want to give them up to move on to full furred hoppers just yet but we are working on it. He initially started out on wanting his food dipped in tuna fish water and now every once in a while he reverts back to wanting tuna-mice. The wild caught looked to be an ancient girl that we just released back into the veggie garden at the farm where she had been found. I figure one day we'll find a little hatchling out there that would be better suited to living in captivity. I'm hoping the dusty will man up this spring to breed the black female (I think she intimidated him too much last year).  I used to have a nice high yellow male I was raising up with the dusty, but the dusty for some reason decided to eat the yellow.

Updated my photo gallery to add a few eye candy pics of hogs.
