Come Foraging With Our Red River Hogs

Our red river hogs Garnet and Rhonnie are absolutely a-boar-able! In the wild, these hungry hogs will forage and eat just about anything, with an extensive diet of roots, eggs, seeds, insects, lizards, and herbs. They even follow around chimpanzees in hopes of dropped fruit from above! Here at the Zoo, they receive a variety of fruits and veggies, lettuce, cooked sweet potatoes, grains and mealworms, which are scattered around their habitat daily for them to forage for. That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
