p.s. If anyone is hoping that a hog will use their hog house to hibernate in, don’t forget to leave loads of leaves, long grasses, etc. for them to make their nests with. These sorts of materials should be left available all winter, in case a hog wants to move nests, or do repairs, etc. It’s best to put a small amount in (maybe a handful or so) to give them the idea and leave the other materials nearby so that the hog can choose when and how it uses them. The materials the hogs need to make their nests are equally important as having a hog house – they still need to build their nests within that hog house.
