The first litter consisted of six babies (which is big litter). Sadly four died over a period of days. One of the problems when trying to hand read such young hoglets. Thankfully the two surviving hoglets are doing well and the second litter (twins) are also doing well.
Sophie has been keeping me up-to-date with the progress and I wanted to share with you some of the images she has sent me.
So here goes:

A few days later - as you can see doing really well

As I get more news and additional images I'll keep you up to date.
