Hi FiestaRed
I’m not sure I am completely understanding the position, but am assuming that you mean the leaves were in the hog’s normal feeding box? If so, it sounds as if the hog may have decided to hibernate in there. They do sometimes hibernate in their feed boxes if they can’t find anywhere else they like. I would continue to leave food out, but elsewhere. It may just have wanted to make a warmer nest and still not hibernate.
So, I would continue to offer food and definitely water (water best left available all day every day) but away from the box.
Good luck, I hope all goes well.
