Chloe is nursing!



Yesterday turned out quite eventful. First of all, Chloe showed up at the door early in the afternoon. Eat and run - then back again several minutes later to repeat the pattern. Sure enough it seems she is now nursing a litter. Her den must be close by but I have no idea where - and I’m not going to do anything to disturb it. At one point she even came up behind Milady and waited for her to hand feed her a tea biscuit. Last week she was running away whenever Milady came within fifty feet of the retreat.

  3. Later this evening Chloe returned with a friend. Much to my surprise the little (but growing) skunk was actually with her. The two started eating side by side. I tried to get a photograph but as soon as I opened the door the little skunk scrammed. It will be back. Oh, I say little but she (or he) is a bit bigger than Chloe now.
