wild piglets

Untamed boar offspring

Wild piglets are the young of wild boars or feral pigs, typically striped for camouflage in their first months of life.

The phrase emphasizes their untamed nature—energetic, unpredictable, and difficult to control: The kids ran through the house like wild piglets.
