Hi, as long as the tunnel is big enough for her to leave by I wouldn’t worry.
Hogs don’t always just rush off. I had one that stayed 6 months in an open hutch despite regularly being disturbed before deciding to move off. I’ve also had them stay days in a cardboard release box. It’s all down to the hog – and often it’s safer for them to leave very slowly rather than just rush off.
If it’s a female as you intimate it won’t be rushing off to find a mate either, but will be focussed on fattening up
Just keep leaving food and water for it and let it do it’s own thing
