Hi sindybird
I suspect it depends to some extent on circumstances, how long a hog will stay with her young straight after they’re born. But I imagine that the mother would not travel as far afield when she has young ones in the nest as she normally would. Certainly, when I was watching the group of females who used to visit here some years ago they used to disappear sometimes for a couple of weeks during hoglet producing season. Normally they visited regularly every day and continued to do that after their disappearances.
