Hi, I'm the proud mom of 2 kits: Lit'l guy turned 4 mos. last Thursday and
Rocky Rockfish will be 3 mos.  Both are MF pet store victims and get along.
The pet store provided fake ID and tried to disguise my Rockfish as a 7 wk.
old, but he was younger, he was sick from the admitted "accidental "freezing
during his LONG transport to Alaska, and he was scared to death of
heights(if his belly left the ground).  I got Lit'l guy when SHE was 7 wks
and she's perfect!  I work extra hard with Rocky Rockfish because I accept
that males aren't as quick as females and I know he's so young.  I now think
he could be blind, at least partially.  If this was the case, it would
explain ALOT.  In addition, he has started sucking furiously on Lit'l guy's
ears when she's sleeping.  She wakes up bald and crusty.  I went undercover
and discovered that Rockfish does this in his sleep and when moved he'll
continue to suck air.  He's been doing this for over a week and doesn't
appear to be slowing down.  When he's awake he tries to suck the dog's (10
year old and dry)nipples.  If this is something to be concerned about,
please reply.
 
Regarding his sight, should I be doing anything different for him?  Thank
you VERY much for any input!
