Buffy and Angel were orphaned when their nest was disturbed and they were abandoned by their mother. At just two weeks old they were a real test for us. They weighed only 103 and 105 grams respectively. The babies needed to be kept in an incubator and syringe fed every 3 hours and toileted. This is normally done by the mother, to encourage them to wee and poo. If this isn't done, they build up toxins and it can possibly lead to an early death. With a lot of perseverance, both hoglets did fine and were soon big enough to be put into our 'pre release' pen where they can learn to forage for food and get acclimatised to a more natural environment. They have now been released in a beautiful rural location and are being closely monitored by an animal lover in Far Forest.
