The same thing has happened in our garden, up to 6 Hogs throughout spring and summer. Went down to 2-3 at the beginning of September. We went away for second 2 weeks of September but I had an automatic feeder in one feeding station so food was always available. Since we returned, not a single hog! I think there were some cold nights while we were away which may help explain but it’s still relatively mild here (Essex). As far as Hedgehogs and Foxes go, we have up to 4 Foxes every night and they generally ignore the Hogs (but sometimes get a pricked nose!). So I don’t think they are the issue. A Badger passed through just before we went away but then we used to get Badgers and Hedgehogs every night without issue. It would be interesting to hear from those more expert on Hog behaviour as to what’s going on?
