Hi Spikey999

Don’t worry, it’s that time of year again, when the hogs disappear to hibernate. Some disappear a bit soooner than others, so you might hear that there are still some around in some places, but that might just be down to the local conditions. Hopefully the hogs will return safe and well next Spring.

Thanks, Spikey999. I’m happy to help. I know what a worry hedgehogs can sometimes be – especially at this time of year. Fingers crossed for them all to have a successful hibernation.
