d a e r t r v i s u J I have just been born. I cannot see or hear. I have no fur to keep me warm.
I snuggle in a cozy nest with my brothers and sisters.

t o f s t t e h e n u O I am two days old. Fine black hair is growing over my pink skin. My eyes and ears are still closed.
Where am I? I am lost.
I squeak as loudly as I can until my mother hears me. She will carry me home.
My first crawl I am two weeks old. My eyes are open. At last I can see and hear. I can walk too.
My mother watches me as I explore. I sniff everything I find.
Now I am going back to my nest for a nap. It has been an exciting day.

From here, I can see all around me.
I am three weeks old. My claws are sharp and my legs are getting strong.
I am playing in this flowerpot, but the walls are slippery. Help! The pot is rolling away.
Look! My sister is peeking out of another flowerpot.
u n g i o k c a a f re o T Now I am four weeks old. I spend most of the time with my brothers and sisters.
s e v l e s r
We like to play together.
Then I clean myself. My long tail needs special care.
Climbing high I am six weeks old and I am growing stronger. My brothers, sisters, and I have climbed this branch.
We cling onto the thin branches with our claws.
Our long tails help us balance.
Finding food Now I am eight weeks old. I like finding my own food.
I sniff and twitch my nose when I smell yummy things to eat.
My favorite food is grain. I hold it between my paws and nibble it with my long front teeth.
