Hi pope_pius_ix
So sorry to hear about the poor hog. You did your best for it and that’s all we can ever do.
I agree with Stef. There are likely to be other hogs around and hopefully one will soon find your garden. Fingers crossed.
I wrote some notes a while back with tips for identifying hogs from their natural markings – at the beginning of this: https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/forums/topic/identifying-hedgehogs-from-their-natural-markings/ You might find something useful in that.
Good luck. I hope some more hogs visit soon.
