There are 5 now

In the process of enlarging the run this morning for mummy Billie, auntie Gertie and the 4 little ones we suddenly saw a fifth little person, this one: 

It appeared at the top of the ramp all of a sudden when mummies and babies had gone to feed.  Billie came back briefly and told it to go back into the hut, which it did for a moment, but then came out again and threw itself of the highest point of the ramp to join the others  -  good job their little bones are like rubber at the moment!





Mummy Billie-Jean and child minder Gertie are doing a splendid job looking after the youngsters, they even make mud puddles for them and show them how to schnozzle in them!







This little one is one week old today:
