A special normal...

This is "Mama's Boy"...when he was born last month, him and another sibling wandered away, before I could get them out...mom got very defensive, and mowed over them, almost biting them, trying to get to me...so I left them where they were...

You can see them happily camped out with their mother...they stayed right on or under her, the entire time...I was worried mom might hurt them accidentally if I tried to reach them or pull her out.

She's eye to eye with me in this picture...that acrylic door is the only thing saving me, LOL

One crawled off to the side, a few days later, and I was able to retrieve that baby.

But Mama's Boy, stayed with his mother for seven whole days...I kept checking, and he never left her...he sure knew where it was safe, LOL...

When I finally managed to take him out, I knew just what his name had to be...

He was a little dry, but otherwise seemed fine, and shed not long after...
