Glad I spotted this thread as my 2 hogs haven’t been visiting much over the last week or so. We were away a couple of weeks ago so the wildlife camera was on 24/7 but the weather was also pretty rubbish. One of the hogs visited on Saturday briefly, then last night it captured me watering the garden at 10.18pm and the next activity was a cat at 5.08am. It was hot of course so even the regular moggy that eats up the scattered hedgehog food didn’t visit. But useful to know that they may just be doing what comes naturally.

When would I be OK to check/clean out the hedgehog house? I want to tweak its position and level the ground it’s standing on. I’m not going to move it as my wildflowers have grown around it so it’s in a great spot (didn’t seem like it till the plants grew, but it’s also near a hedgehog/rat hole under the fence)
