Have put h’hog house in garden after seeing two after many years of none. Coaxed one into it by putting food in entrance tunnel. H’hog ate most of it. Next night I put in the house and again most was eaten- a mixture of dog meat from tin, plus tiny biscuits and few Calci worms. Half boiled egg one night and dried fly mix.
On 3rd night it buried itself in hay and no sign of it on next night. But last night it actually moved feeding bowl to entrance as if it wanted it to be removed. I did not disturb it on day after it hid in hay in case it was still in box. Last night it again buried itself in hay. Seems healthy, but at a loss to try and explain it’s actions! I put dish of fresh water in tiny bowl outside, near entrance every night.
Any views welcomed.
