all sauron knew about hobbits is that one of those little dipshits had his ring. and the first hobbit that called in with the palantir he was like "....that must be the little freak that has my ring" but no, that was pippin. because there is more than one hobbit, but I guess he didnt consider that.
probably didnt help that the heir to gondor, possibly his most formidable enemy, immediately called back and was like "yeah that short fella that just called? hes definitely got your ring and hes with me. fuck you" and sauron was like "ooooh that settles it!!!"
