Hi tin tin

Don’t worry, it’s that time of year when the hogs disappear to hibernate. Once they hibernate it’s just a case of waiting until the Spring and hope that they return. Sadly, you can’t check – the hogs shouldn’t be disturbed when they’re hibernating. But the hog may also have gone elsewhere to hibernate.

I would keep the camera going and if you see any signs of hogs offer some food again. It’s really important for hogs to have water readily available all day, every day, including in the winter. Hogs do sometimes go in and out of hibernation a bit.

Sounds as if you’ve done a great job with your garden attracting lots of wildlife. We all miss the hogs in the winter, but hopefully all the other wildlife you’ve attracted will be some consolation. Then it’s always such a delight when the hogs begin to return in the Spring.

Good luck

Hedgehog
