If there really isn’t any way the hog can get out it will keep trying to make one. Once it has it’s unlikely to come back. However in my experience it’s unlikely you will manage to stop it getting out unless you dig boarding or wire down into all your borders.
I suspect that the hog that drowned actually had something else wrong with it as they are very good swimmers
Whether your hog is male or female you cannot keep it – it’s illegal – and very stressful for the hog
Your best bet would be to make ‘highways’ between all the neighbour’s gardens
Appreciated it’s coming up to winter and hopefully it will stay in your garden to hibernate, but be aware hogs usually have several hiberniculums and will move nest during hibernation
