Just wondering if anyone actually reads this blog, er, looks at these pictures.... if you're out there, please let me know. Maybe I will make it more interesting, even for an audience of one.
When the babies were fresh and new, Sweetie seemed to be a reluctant mother. The babies kind of irratated her and when they picked up a cracker, she promptly stole it from them, and pushed them out of the way. Well, the babies are getting a little bigger, and Sweetie is getting reaping what she sewed. CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO VIEW LARGER
Tonight 'Lil One finally brought her babies for us to see. Three more sweet adorable faces - one much darker than the others (this one likes to take baths!) Here is some video of them, through the glass. The last seconds are too cute, so hang in until the end.
Later that night, the original set of babies came with their mamma, and Lil One was back (without her kids) and we had two feeding stations set up about 5 feet apart, and they actually shared! Mom and babies were head first into their pot, and she was in hers and they didn't challenge each other like they usually do. It was a nice little moment of raccoon harmony!
I am known as the Grape Lady, and my husband is the Cracker Man. We try to help out the little critters whose habitat is ravaged by development. Plus, they are just super cute!
