Maggot updates

The five maggots are getting fatter and wigglier by the day. The first eyes started opening midway through last week, and they are now all up on four legs and starting to waddle around. They have needle sharp claws that obviously get used in their nipple pummelling feeding frenzies, because Fly occasionally breaks into an outraged growl, but she is still a careful and attentive mum.

Apologies for the quality, the light was terrible and they are really hard to photograph.

















Blaze/socks boy- pretty laidback lad, might be like his Uncle Jim:














Dark boy- R really likes this one, he seems a bit finer than some of the other little piglets, and will probably end up marked much like Lilli, with a black head:

























My favourite, the split faced boy:





















Finn, the white faced boy- he's a bit of a stand-out, despite his white head, first to do things, very alert and active but calm, doesn't get upset easily:






















The little girl- no longer quiet! Definitely the noisiest and most stroppy pup:
