Nature/Wildlife.
I had my winter hedgehog news letter today and they have not had many hogs come in for rescue this winter. I have had no hogs at all this winter when last year i had 47 different hogs coming to eat and drink by our front patio window, as many as 4 and 5 at a time causing big fights! So just what is going on in the wild this winter? Only a few squirrels coming to my garden mostly the same one now where are they this winter? Something strange going on.






Hi Mopinwil,Hogs do sleep when the weather gets really cold and they will wake up after a week or so and if it is still very cold will go back to sleep otherwise they get up find something to eat then go back to bed. Squirrel only if it was really very cold, you can see them all year round. They mate at this time of year and have their young which are rared by only the female, so there may not be so many to see between January and March.We had three together in the garden this morning.
Hello, I am totally unaware what squirrels would normally do in a normal winter. Do hogs or squirrels hibernate?
