Hi Insectivore
Sorry to hear about the hoglets. But, it’s unlikely to have been a cat that killed them. They may not even have been killed, they may have just died – for all sorts of reasons. There is a fairly high mortality amongst hoglets. There may be others of the litter still around, so be careful about disturbing anything too much.
You mention feeding, but I hope you are leaving out water as well – very important preferably available all day every day. Hogs may be able to find food in the wild, but water is more difficult. Wide but shallow plant saucers are ideal.
