Hi KItty 878
Don’t worry that the old nest was destroyed by the weather. Mother hog would probably have made a new one (although maybe not in your garden). It is good hog practice to build a new one, to minimise any problems with external parasites, such as ticks or fleas.
Fingers crossed for a tenant in the hog house. Don’t forget to leave plenty of medium sized leaves, grasses etc. nearby. A handful of nesting material might encourage them to consider the house, but most hogs like to do their own interior decorations – and are much better at nest building than we are!
