So the hog has a sore head as well, nice.
Seriously, I get a few like that, they set the trap off to quick! by sniffing as they go with the head or spines being first to pressure the plate.
Just take a sticker with you and finish the hog off.
You could open the second mesh hole bigger, some of mine will take a big kitten.But it may not always help either.
Nice having a plate that triggers well, I wouldn't be to concerned, hedgepigs are just part of it with the doc box.
The original size entrance that most of these come with! is never big enough to be a versatile unit, a little snipping always made mine take other pestie.
With the odd one held by the spines or head.
