It’s good to hear about the hedgehog success stories, but sad to hear, winters10, that the hog there has disappeared. Hopefully that will be temporary. Whilst there are all too many hazards out there for the hogs, there are also other reasons why they might be absenst from your garden. The hog might be concentrating on another part of it’s range at the moment, someone else may have started offering food, hog holes in fences may have been blocked and a new way through need to be found, it could be a female concentrating on hoglets elsewhere, etc.
Just one small tip. It’s best to keep food and the feeding area away from where the nest box is, if you are hoping for it to be used for nesting.
