pretty shook up. I took them all to the
(cont.) lab immediately. After a few minutes
in my warm hands all 3 neonates
began to revive and started squealing.
I prepared a standard (large-size) lab
holding cage for them: supplied with:
cotton bedding, wood shavings, cleaned
corn, oak leaves and af[illegible] water bottle.
I couldn't see them but they weighed
13.4g, 12.9g and 12.8g. I bet the sexes
are ♂, ♀ and ♀ respectively. ♀ 1519-20
weighed 236g and seemed stressed
out. So I covered the cage and put it
in a dark room for the day.
0655 p.m.: In the Spider Tree, I caught
a new juv. ♂ (1667-68, 95g) beside ♀ 2269
(his mom?) underneath H.6. He was fairly
hyper and squealed a lot. I released
both of them together into the wooden
trap shelter in the canopy under H.6.
♀ 2269 left immediately and ascended
up into H.6. The ♂ was much more hesitant
and cautious. He stayed back in
the shelter at first and, when he came
out and stood on a branch, he seemed
very "unsure of himself". Then ♀ 2269 tail
rattled from inside of H.6, he dashed out
instantly and climbed quickly up and into H.6.
