Hi spookwoman
I don’t think your first post needs to be moderated, so not sure why it didn’t come up.
Personally, I wouldn’t worry too much about a hog out at 8.30 pm. It is not long to dark by then. The only thing is, it may be because it’s hungry. I’m guessing you are feeding? Although not sure from your post. Cat/dog/hedgehog food is all fine and it’s a good idea to leave water out 24 hours a day.
Let us know how things go.
P.S. Just spotted your profile pic, so you must be feeding! But can’t tell what. What I have mentioned above is best for the hogs.
