The Hoglet

Our hoglet is developing very well. 4 weeks after joining us the boy is weighing nearly 500 g. He is running around in his new preserve in the boiler-room. His old apartment is far too small for him now.
So we built a new preserve for him (1.10 x 2.20 m) with a lot of leaves and a nice den for his nest.
Eddie is always hungry, eating up everything he can get hold of. So we must take care to provide exactly the amount of feed that he needs.
Only our cat has a problem: she cannot understand that anybody else is receiving her feed. She was getting really depressive. So it is very important to feed her first, and then rapidly disappear taking the feed for the hoglet.
Oh dear, tortoiseshell cats are so sensitive!












Could there be any more food below the rim?
