E.M. Brock 1957 Raising of young Litter 2 A.R.L. Barrow, Northern Alaska July 13 Litter of 6 found in a cage which has been occupied by a single female. Male was removed about two weeks ago - exact date not known. Litter must have been born last night. Although cages were checked every day the nest is extremely hard to find. The upper nest is obvious but as explained before for the other litter there is a small "jacket" built into the nest in which the young lie. In this particular situation the lower nest was completely covered over so that nothing could be noticed without removing a layer of green moss. Of two of the young weighed, the weights were 3.2 and 3.1 grams each. Their eyes are closed; they are naked and their toes are fused. Once again I don't know whether to keep an accurate record of the young or leave them alone and disturb them as little as possible. I would like to get as much information as can be obtained but the female gets so excited and moos
