Hi ElsieD
It’s been such a strange winter, weatherwise, that it wouldn’t be surprising if the hogs don’t know whether they’re coming or going. It maybe that being down in Cornwall that the hogs come out of hibernation earlier. Some of the males tend to start returning in March in a normal year, so what with climate change and this particular winter, it could be earlier. Then, of course, there are the hogs who haven’t hibernated at all. So I think it’s a good idea to leave food out. If nothing else a returner from hibernation would probably welcome having some food readily available.
Good luck with the hogs, I hope the smaller one returns as well.
