Hi SnMuss and BobsMum
Try not to worry too much. I know with hogs it’s easy to think of all the bad things that might have happened to them, but missing hogs is a problem which often happens and there can be all sorts of reasons for it. Mine are all missing at the moment as well, despite them normally being regular visitors. It’s possible that you might not see them again before hibernation, now, but hopefully at least some of them will be back next year. The males may even have started hibernating already, with the weather being so strange and it’s getting to the time when some males hibernate anyway. Males tend to hibernate earlier than the females (no hoglet rearing duties) and return from hibernation earlier.
I’m still putting food out every night in case and it sounds a good idea that you do, too. Especially don’t forget to leave water out all day every day. Every now and then I am catching sight of a hog on one of my cameras, so I wouldn’t want it to turn up and find no food and water.
