P.A. Kelly 1988 Journal May, 28 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.
