Hi Annig
I have found with some hogs in the past that they might disappear for a night and then come back before disappearing to hibernate. But I have one at the moment who has done that a couple of times and maybe decided not to hibernate after all and kept visiting again. She was a hoglet last winter and didn’t hibernate at all, despite being heavy enough, so I’m waiting to see what happens this year. But she has started visiting later in the night, which is not ideal. They do seem to like to keep us guessing!
At least you know that the little one is over the minimum recommended weight, so has a good chance. The hog here is still seen on video foraging, so there seems to be wild food still around, so there probably is where you are as well. But you might just have to wait and see re. hibernation.
