I used picture frame glass but I didn't have a coil... I used a lightbulb but also secured the outside of the glass in duct tape.

Hogs are not filthy animals! Not unless the owner doesn't keep their pen clean. They are destructive, there is no doubt about that! My son raised hogs for his FFA project. He had three sows that he raised babies from. He kept them on a concrete slab with raised houses. The houses were bedded with straw. The sows did not poop or pee in their houses. They picked one corner of their pen to use as a bathroom.

Each sow had her own pen and house. The houses were about one foot off of the ground with a ramp. One afternoon one of the sows got her nose under the ramp, ripped it off, stuck her nose under the edge of the house, gave it a shove and was lose! What a circus! She took her little piggies on a rampage! She would chase me every time I went outside to try to keep her from tearing up something.

I finally got in the car a drove to the bus stop to pick up the kids so they would walk home to the nightmare going on there. I told J what was going on at home, he said there was nothing to worry about. All he needed was a bucket of feed, some nails and a hammer.

He was right! One look at that feed bucket and that d@mn hog would have followed him straight into the fires of hell! Problem solved!

You are right and I will correct what I said. I think that's the difference enola. Cleanliness. I had another friend that had a 200 lb hog that lived in the house and used a doggie door. They're smart and trainable too. My neighbor made me hate them. I've never been around mean filthy hogs raised for food. No house, no straw, never cleaned. 2 hogs in a 24X24 dirt pen with a mud hole. He fed discarded whatever the fermented stuff is from breweries that he got free. The flies made it hard to even live here!

We're not zoned for hogs here anyway. 2 spayed or neutered licensed pot bellies under 200 lbs are legal.

Have you tried gently tugging that leg to see if it is a slipped tendon that might pop in. Never had one, so just guessing here. Really sad that you beautiful boy hurt himself.

I moved the whole leg very slightly and it hurt him.

I'm trying to envision the anatomy of a chicken now when I cook them...
