No baby's

It is official, none of the baby's born on 16 august survived.

Meerkat baby's are born blind and naked. They then spend 3 to 4 weeks underground while the grow fur, develop eye sight and developing their motorized skills. At aprox 4 weeks they are strong enough to follow their siblings to the surface. They then spend the next couple of day's around the burrows just fine tuning their movement and running skill's.

So if the 16th of August was the day they were born, Then the 13th of September would be 4 weeks from then and the family has now moved 300m away to another burrow I think we can safely say the baby's did not make it.

Now if things work out like they should and Liefie (dominant female) has conceived shortly after the birth of the baby's, the next baby's should be born on ± 30 October.

The count down is on.
