So... some of the accounts I've read from some of you and others and in literature indicate how sometimes the mother will accidentally step or smother her own kits by accident.
I wondered if this could be partly because in nature do the kits actually sleep in a slightly deeper depression than where the bulk of the mother's weight is resting? What do you think about this?
So to illustrate this more clearly...
We build flat and boxy. That's how wood and lumber is cut. And its hard and time consuming for us to build round.
But burrows and underground (whatever terms you want to use) are round. So if its round then is the bulk of the mother's weight actually above the kits, not even with them, and is this why sometimes they get smothered?
