we have about three tiny hoglets… they are feeding well, and two are growing but one is very small he would fit in a teacup… Mum is also around sometimes
So… should I rescue them and take them to a centre, or continue to feed them..
Today we noticed a medium one running up the garden in the sunshine… so we threw out some food and he is chomping away..
just not sure about the babies….
if weather stays mild they may continue to feed all winter… and I know they dont always survive in care…
Hmmm… what to do?If they are living in your garden then I would continue to feed and monitor the situation. Mum is likely to abandon them soon as they sound about the right size. As soon as she does or you have any concerns they aren’t growing then take them to a rescue.
It’s very likely the medium one you saw does need rescuingIt’s better they might not survive in care as opposed to won’t in the wild
Yes the medium one was just sitting in the grass so he has gone off to rescue, I think he has a bad leg.. but he was still eating a lot… I will monitor the little ones.. and the weather, although in the past I have had young ones out in all temperatures… I have also put out some hay, so they can make a warm bed…
lets see how the weather goes, fortunately here in the south its still fairly mild
