Hi Claire
At this time of year and by this behaviour almost certainly a nesting female. Gestation is roughly 32 day’s. Mum will then start taking the babies out foraging around 3-4 weeks old.
Please make sure you’re not feeding mealworms and that the food dishes aren’t too close to the hog house so as not to attract other animals to it. Also leave out lots of water
There is lots of basic info on this website for you under the help section.
Good luck and what fun to have babies in your garden
