You should have heard the noise coming from this little fellow for about 10 minutes before I went outside to replenish the feed bowls. There was some serious snuffling going on. (By the way, the sweeping brush is leaning against the wall - I am not using it to "sweep" along the hog, which is what it might look like in the photo!)
Here's a picture I took a few minutes earlier from my bedroom window and although the quality is poor is illustrates quite nicely what all the snuffling noises were about. There was another hog! I think the snuffling is all part of some mating ritual. However the second hog had already gone by the time that I ventured out. I think perhaps the noisy hog was supposed to follow, but perhaps he's shy (I'm assuming that it's the male that makes all the noise, you'll notice).

We are very exciting about these mating hogs and it's good to see no sweeping of the hog is going on. :)
