One Week Old

6/12/2013

Phew!  They have survived one full week!  At the beginning of the week, the darkest one was a solid little tank.  The lightest one was fairly close and the other one was kind of spindly but very energetic.  As of today... they are all about the same.  I call the spindly one Wild Willy because he will not sit still ever.  I am partial to the lightest one.  I think it has such a sweet face.  

I have learned a couple of things this week.  Don't put too much straw in your nest box.  And don't underestimate the escape tactics of a blind hairless kit.  And lastly, kits apparently have super hero DNA and are able to fall from a 3 story condo and survive unscathed.  How did I learn all of this?  Well, while doing my morning check I realized I only had 2 kits.  I was going insane trying to figure out where number 3 was.  I didn't think mom would have eaten it, she has been so good to them.  So I kept searching. Poor guy managed to get out of the nest box, and wiggle through the cage wires and onto our concrete garage floor.  I was convinced the poor thing would die but it seemed unharmed in anyway.  Later I read up and learned that they do have some strange ability to bounce and survive falls.  Phew.  Lesson learned.  Cages revamped, nest box revamped.  No more escapees this week.
