Hi Sapper 8589
Sorry to hear that the hogs there have gone missing. There are all sorts of potential reasons why that could happen – i.e. their route to your garden has been blocked, some predators (potentially badgers or foxes, but also dogs) have moved into the area, so the hogs are avoiding it, someone else has started offering food, etc. For instance, the hogs here were very late back this year and I suspect it may have been due to some work which was done on a nearby railway line which may have deterred them from using that route.
Don’t give up, some hogs could still turn up. It’s very important that they are still, at least, offered water, but you could try offering a small amount of food as well, in case one or some eventually turn up.
Good luck. Let us know if any hogs appear.
