It is useful to have real data, so I will put mine down.

Pinky - f - from birth - 5 years - CnC indoor/pine shavings/Oxbow hay and pellets and outdoor run - runt/genetic
JoJo - f - from birth - 6-7 years - same conditions - heat stroke
Spike - f - from birth - 6-7 years - same conditions - heat stroke
Black Scooter - m - from birth - 7 years - same conditions - old age
Sammy - m - from birth - 7 years - same conditions - old age (alpha male)

Was there nothing you could do for the pigs with heatstroke? Could you not prevent it in the first place?

Im curious, what were the conditions of the environment that caused the heatstrokes? Summer is hot in LA, and i'd like to know what they can and cannot handle.

i usually take my piggies when the weather is around 60 (min.) to 80 (max, in my opinion). Hope i helped!
