Hi heggie1
How sad to hear of this. I’m not very experienced here but can only say that nature is raw in tooth and claw and there seems no way we can avoid this sort of horrid thing happening.
You shouldn’t feel any guilt for feeding the hogs, you’ve obviously helped a lot survive. I lost 3 bantams to foxes – not all at once – as they insisted on perching in trees rather than a safe coop at night. We do our best to help the wildlife but it seems impossible to protect them from everything out there.
If you feed birds visiting cats can be a menace in the same way, but I do feel we can only do what we can..
Yours is such an awful story, but I am sure you will continue to watch out for the hedgies though by providing safe areas they can find food and shelter.
Best wishes j
