These are very special pics of mum and babies feeding taken just before a neccessary clean. NEVER disturb a nest as mum can abandon their young or worse kill them!!

A picture of the hoglets at 2 weeks old. At this stage they are just starting to open their eyes and ears – still very cute!!!! Not all of them would make it out of the nest in the wild. Mum’s have an average of 4-5 babies as an insurance policy.

It’s an absolutely amazing feeling seeing their faces experiencing such basic things for the first time. They were a feisty bunch to say the least and i hope they are […]
