It could be o.k. I have had hogs here bed down in feed boxes for the day a few times. Some just stayed one or two days (and took in a minimal amount of ‘bedding’) and then moved on to spend the day elsewhere, but one built an elaborate nest on top of a bowl of food. I managed to get the bowl out whilst the hog wasn’t there the next day, but the next night it continued building the nest. I had to get a new feed box because the hog didn’t hibernate, despite the nest, and continued to visit all winter. But with the short stay ones, on each occasion they have just come out, as normal when it was dark and continued on their way. As I recall, they have all been males.
