They are about a  month old and are now regularly playing together. Xavier is being hand reared, as his mum had to have a caesarean and then wanted nothing to do with him. He is putting on about 150 grams a day, which is not bad, but at a cost of sleep to us – soon though we will have him trained for less frequent bottles.

Meanwhile we wait on another 5 mums who are all now over 11 1/2 months – so they had better get on with it!!
