I was browsing some old (well not that old) photos in the deepest darkest depths of the computer and came across an album with a mystery that was never solved.
In May I had a litter born, 2 healthy kits 2 peanuts. Something I'm use to having. Well I was in for a shock, usually peanuts die in about a week. The following pictures were taken at 2.5 weeks:
2 Peanuts with their littermate (the litter mate was 3lbs fully grown)
They were fighters.
Watching them walk was funny and sad at the same times, their heads were far to large for their bodies so they tipped alot
The broken otter peanut dwarfed by a normal 3 day old half sibling.
Anyhow the fact they made it to 2.5 weeks was interesting (but not shocking, as there are cases of peanuts living to 1 year [google Micro the Mini Rex Peanut/Barbi Brown])
When they made it to 4 weeks that was a shock. They were eating pellets and drinking water (from a tiny little bottle since the normal sized bottles they weren't strong enough to move the ball)
Then they just vanished. We never found a trace of them. No bodies, no reason for them to be gone. They were in a cage with half X half floor wire, and 4" high urine guards. We took apart the nest box piece by piece and found no bodies. pulled all the cages out and no bodies. No trace of them ever appeared.
So right now my theory is alien abduction
