Eastern hogs do not eat beach mice. I grew up in Saint Andrews an area of Panama city Fl. One hognose are very rare near the coast. Two I have never seen an Eastern hog that did not take work to switch to rodents. Plainly not their natural diet.
On the other hand if you are out walking the dunes at night you can stumble on some of the biggest corn snakes I have seen. other than the occasional salt marsh snakes not much other reptile life enjoys the beach.
The feral cats are horrific down here. They have stray cat colonies all over. They need to be removed. Habitat destruction is the biggest issue though. There is no such thing as protected land if you have the cash in this state. I have watched many protected areas turned into shopping centers or housing.
