Not sure how well it penetrates through the spines though ! But they can be&nbsp;sensitive&nbsp;to the carrier in frontline I think, so if you spray it they need to be well ventilated, for a while afterwards as well, and not put back in a plastic tub or similar. So I prefer not to spray it at all.&nbsp;</p> <p>I&#39;ve just had a look in the exotics pets manual and they also recommend frontline spray for fleas in the African hogs.&nbsp;</p> <p>More info on flea tx in wild hogs : http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00dis/Parasitic/Flea_Inf.htm</p> <p>Hope this helps</p> <p>Claire</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
