Hi Jane Lappage
That’s interesting. You might find that those, or some of them continue with hibernation. Hogs do sometimes wake up part way through and even make new nests, but continue with hibernation. But I would continue to put out food and water for them and they can make their own decision. But it is a bit early for them to come out of hibernation, normally. Normally the males are first to come out of hibernation and it is usually more like March.
If you see them out during the day, at all, they may need help from a carer/rehabilitator, so look out for them. If so, you can find the number of your nearest ones from BHPS on 01584 890801
Good luck to you and hogs.
