The younger kids

After Pansy and I decorated the outside pen it was time for the the youngsters to try it out! A mass exodus from the crate, then a little shock when noticing different surroundings... Then the fun began! It's safe to say they were thrilled with the trees! No problem climbing up and down for this crew.


Little Pip.... she's so tiny she looks about the size of a chipmunk in the cage!



CHEEZE! Tash and Merry pose for a pic!

Yes...I am cute and I know it!
Kinky is also tiny like Pip but has no problem with the big trees in here!

Squibby is just going to plant himself right here for a while....the little piggy!



I'm still bringing them in at night but it won't be long before that stops also. By yesterday afternoon they had already tired themselves out and discovered the safety of the den box to curl up in and sleep. Now that they are familiar with where the shelter, food, pool and litter box are in the pen it's just a matter of me feeling they are capable of staying in there permanently without supervision since some of them are very small for their ages! (So basically I'm just a nervous nelly for a mom! LOL)

Tuft's held on to Sammy the Muskrat to see if they can figure out what is wrong with him and fix him up. He's in good hands now and hopefully will get better then come back to join us! I have to check in with them at the beginning of the week so fingers crossed!
