I have a buddy with 900 acres in east TX I visited in 2006. He took us to this see this crazy guy down the road that would catch the hogs in traps and fatten them up he said they would eat twice what a domestic would and never get as fat. They stay pretty hard and lean.

geta radio transmitter put it on it, then turn it loose where you know hogs are and can hunt them. he will try and join up with his old lost crew or a new one, when you find him just be sure not to shoot him but his buddys

Get some baby pig starter at the feed store and try to start him on it as quick as you can. You may have to sprinkle some powdered milk on it to get him started eating it, but after that, he should do well on it. It will meet his dietary needs until he grows older.
I caught nine a few years back. They were only a day or two old when I caught them. I put hay in the floor of a stock trailer and rigged them up a little hut with a light. I had to start by bottle feeding them. Tractor Supply had some nipples that fit on coke bottles, and those worked really well. The first time day we tried feeding them, they were completely uncooperative. The next morning, they were waiting at the back of the trailer for somebody to feed them. They would squeal and climb and carry on until they got feed. After they got feed, they'd go in their little hut and take a nap.
