Hi all,

It’s very interesting that others are noticing a drop off in the number of hogs visting their garden. Over several months, we’ve kept a close eye on the comings and goings of our regulars and would often have at least two or three feeding at the same time. However, like everyone else on this forum, about a week or so ago they all suddenly stopped visiting, including a smaller adolescent who would occasionally sleep in one of our hedgehog boxes. The one exception is a very loyal hog who has slept in our garden almost every night (and sometimes day) since June and still turns up to be fed. I would have thought that September would be too early for hibernation, but has the cooler weather forced a change in behaviour? Here’s hoping they return soon 🙂
