Hi Annker

No I’m just saying that in the wild hibernacula can measure 50cm. in diameter, so I thought my box seemed small for hibernating. But I have no idea whether hogs do use boxes that small. I imagine they may, judging from how many people have hogs hibernating in their boxes. But maybe they have larger boxes. The dimensions of the one Hedgehog Street show how to build are larger than my box. i.e 30cm x 40cm x 30cm high. Roughly a bit less than 12 x 16 x 12 inches. It is the height of mine which I particularly thought seemed low for hibernating – only 7″. If I was having one built, hoping for it to be used for hibernation I would get it made higher. i.e. 12″ high (as per the Hedgehog Street box) sounds better to me for hibernating.
