Hi Malleye,
Thanks for telling us about the hoglets! We have a similar story, in that the mother hog wandered off after raising her hoglets, perhaps to nest again and raise a new brood, and one of the hoglets left but one has continued to stay with us and sleeps over in the hedgehog houses. She does go out in the night but seems to regard our garden as the main residence. One time I watched her leave and she came back within five minutes, not sure if something scared her and she retreated to safety or if she just changed her mind about going out. I’m hoping she will hibernate here as well.
