Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the tips, responses and added stories!
We have now set a second feeding station near the first, and noticed that apart of some occasional meet/bump of bodies, both hogs eat separately so glad both are now getting food.

I have another question (not sure if I need to start a new thread, so will ask now and if needed, i can ask separately in new one). It is about whem to clean their houses. We have 2 setup and both being used (during night) as we see hogs coming in and out them. We want to clean houses as noticed hogs increased scratching of bellies and the shiny horrible ticks. But if they are using it to sleep, given coming out of hibernation they need a good clean but how do fellow hog champions go about it? I have read the article https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/cleaning-out-boxes/ but not clear how to do if they are using the house, leave it be?
I know they are wild animals, just want to try do something to reduce fleas/ticks. Sorry long question, just that it is the first time we had houses and used for hibernation.
Thank you again!
