I have a pair of guinea hogs who are about a year old now. I ran electric fence over a 1 and an a half acre area for them to have for grazing, etc. They stayed put for about a month then began breaking out by ducking and running (why they'd break out when they have all of the pasture amd acorns they could want I have no idea). So, I put them into a small pen and ran electric to train them to it better. They never tried to break out. I put them back into just electric (half has a fence to block them from the chickens). As soon as I go inside they're out of it. I'm not sure what else to do.
I plan on putting up a wooden perimeter fence come spring but can't really afford to do that right now or get a bunch of hog panels. Any suggestions to be able to let them out until then? Would the electric tape be better? The fence is consistently reading at 7k so I'm thinking its hot enough and if they happen to test it with a nose or ear they jump away.
