Hi Aggie
That so lovely that your neighbour is feeding the hogs as well. I say hogs, because it’s quite likely (when it is not hibernation time) that if there’s one hog around, there will be more. It saves the worry of trying to get someone to feed the hogs when you go away as well!
Your new feeding place sounds a good solution. That hog sounds as if it’s lucky to still be around – had a few adventures by the sound of it! It shows how easy it could be for them to end up in the rubbish by mistake. Lucky that you found it and gave it some tlc.
To be honest, I’m not terribly keen on those hogilos. I got one as my first hog abode, but it was never very successful and they just don’t last so long. So it saves money in the long run getting a box instead. But you can never have too many hog houses, I don’t think! Well, as long as there’s room for other wildlife friendly features as well. Gives the hogs a bit of choice if nothing else.
Good luck with the hog. Wishing a happy and successful hibernation to all hogs everywhere.
