Hi DwarfHog,

I guess they only get around 8 or 9 hours at this time of year with the days lengthening anyway but I guess they are probably active for more than 5 hours.

My hog house has been empty for the past 2 days but today it has had a resident who has just come out for supper.

It seems typically it has 2/3 nights with a resident, then 1.2 nights empty, and I know it has housed 2 different hogs in thr last 2 weeks or so.

I guess you have a trailcam or such like to film the hogs during the night which I must invest in to see what goes on when I’m asleep!
