Wow! He's on solid food already? My three little girls came oop
on April 3rd (appropriate, eh?) and don't even venture out of the
nest box, let alone EAT! Course, they seem to be doing everything
slower than the average joeys - if they were going to come oop in
40 days, they should've been out about the 25th of FEBRUARY! (or else
I just can't count...)

I've been working with them nightly, they barely crab anymore,
compared to what they used to do... and I've been taking them to work,
etc. everyday and letting every Tom, Dick and Harry hold them so they
get used to other people's smells, touch, etc. So far they are
doing VERY well!

Good luck with Niblet - what a darling name! (Named the triplets
Hewie, Dewie and Lewie, but then discovered they were girls, so
they are temporarily Helen, Doris and Louise! My kids think that's
stupid.)
