Ava T-B He is doing well although he has a deformed right foot which causes him to limp. He was one of our two males last year. With his bad foot, it was rather a surprise to see him back this year! Now we are awaiting emergence of babies from the natal burrow. That should be sometime in mid to late May.

He's so robust and lovely!
