Hi Stevey,

that’s fantastic! How lucky are you to have so many at once as well. its a bit of a misconception that hogs live alone all their lives, they are solitary, but not unsociable creatures necessarily, apart from the grumpy ones – and there are some very grumpy ones around! They could be a family – or simply inhabit an area and have become accustomed to each other. Even if overwintered together, hogs will often go their own way on release – but I have known the carer I’m in contact with mention that they can become reliant on each other also – but I’m not too sure what that presents itself as being in the wild. At this time of year with food so precious, they are more likely to tolerate each other in order to get some food. I assume you have several feeding points for them to share? if you could capture them together in a photo, that would be worth sharing with us hog addicts!
