Monday 5th: Today, the Hoglets, we estimate are 14 days old and they appear to be developing more-or-less as expected. Most notably they have grown larger and the pink skin has turned dark in colour and become firmer. Their facial features are now more pronounced. The eye-slits are now beginning to open and we expect in 2 to 4 days they will be fully open. 
Their weight is below target for 14 days but we expect them to pile it on when they start feeding on 'glop'. Mel has spoken on the phone to get some advice from a local 'Hedgehog Carer' and this was very helpful, which is more than can be said for one of the more "well-known" Rescue-Centers that she rang! 
The photos were taken yesterday, Sunday 4th. More updates as and when.
