  In early November two orphaned genets were found on a farm and delivered to the Tikki Hywood Trust in Harare. Both the male and the female were dehydrated and had streaks of blood on their fur from birth. They each weighed less than 100g and were not more than a few days old. They were put onto a glucose solution immediately to boost their energy levels and to rehydrate them. All the genets the Trust receives are to be named after perfume houses. The tiny orphan feeding is 'Coco'. Pictured right are 'Coco' feeding and 'Dior' on the 29 November, almost a month after being orphaned.
