Hi Granny7
It depends whether the hogs were male or female. Male hogs tend to hibernate a fair bit earlier than females regardless of the weather and availability of food. If females have had young it takes quite a bit out of them and they have to wait until the young ones go it alone to have a chance to put on weight for hibernation. Hoglets are often the last to hibernate and some don’t hibernate at all.
