Hi Celeste
Welcome to the Forum!
Glad to hear that you have had hogs there and have been enjoying their visits. It’s possible that some of the hogs may have gone to hibernate already. What triggers hibernation isn’t fully understood and it isn’t only temperature related. The males tend to hibernate earlier than the females (they don’t have hoglet rearing duties to worry about so easier for them to put on weight more easily). They also tend to return earlier than the females.
But there are all sorts of other potential reasons why hogs ‘disappear’ and every year there are loads of people worrying about where they have all got to. They usually re-appear at some stage, but at this time of year, it may not be until after hibernation.
I would keep offering food for a while in case some return – but especially leave water out all day every day, including during winter.
Good luck.
