    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I went to check on our hogs and clean out the cage the day before I feed them and our female was not acting herself, I checked and all her temps etc were fine. We got her three months ago from a pet store who told she had been dropped the previous day by another customer who was thinking of purchasing her but got scared when she hissed. We brought her home and left her alone because of the stress of being at a pet store and she was handled and dropped, I had made a vet's appointment for all our pets (our vet come to us) and she seemed fine to him and she was eatting, no signs or resp infection, any ideas what could have happened I took her in today to have necropsy done on her. I am do sad I really liked her she was a 06 .
 
This is a somewhat common problem with hoggies. Apparently healthy animals just up and drop dead. It was written about in a reptiles magazine article on hognose a few years ago. If I remember correctly it has to do with the humidity being too high. I'll see if I can find the article on it and see what it said exactly.
