by SoftTouch on Today at 00:13I've spoken to 3 people this week who have found young hogs and phoned the RSPCA for help. All three were told there was nothing they could do. I'm fuming. You would think they'd at least tell the people to grab them, bring them in and phone a vet or the BHPS. I'm going to phone... 128 Views | 8 Replies

by PoppyBobble on Wednesday 19 November 2008_ 21:36:35 I have had a little girl for a week and a half - she was 248g, went up to 325g. Eating well although fussy, only ate Asda cat in gravy, wouldn't touch cat biscuits until the other day. Refused bird peanuts, but has eaten human ones, loved a little raw chicken, not so keen on mince.
