Hi daffydil
Good luck with the hog house. When you’ve built it, if you have any spare wood, you could maybe lean some of it against the house as a shelter for some nesting material. Might give it a chance to dry out. They do really like to have some leaves, even if they do have hay and straw as well. It’s best to just put a small amount of bedding into the box and leave lots more nearby, so that they can choose what they use themselves. They are excellent builders of hibernation nests!
If you want to try to identify hogs by their natural markings, I made some notes a while back with a few tips. https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/forums/topic/identifying-hedgehogs-from-their-natural-markings/
