Saturday 17th: Day 26. Of the three, the two females seem to be doing better than the solitary male. The females are putting weight on, weighing-in at 56 and 50 grammes. By comparison, the male is vastly underweight at 36 grammes and a source of concern. Mel is hand-feeding the male more intensively than the females which spend more time lapping from a small shallow lid. All are now on the 'glop', a mixture of quality puppy food and kitten's milk. It does now look like the females are developing teeth but their eye slits are still firmly closed. As you would expect with two of them now feeding themselves, there is also added mess as they will walk, fall over and roll in the 'glop' as well as getting it all over their head when feeding! All the Hoglets do still spend much of the time sleeping. Indeed it's still a case of sleep and eat at the moment.
