So I thought Faith and Grace were the only problem girls. I was wrong. I will start with the 4 remaining baby girls that are here.

They fight in the cage They smell the 4 unsocial girls under them so that causes fights. I put them in the playpen after the 4 unsocial girls, and they mark like mad. Not to mention the rubbing all over everything in the cage.

I have the 4 girls alone right now because I had the two mommas spayed and I was able to put them in the big group but not with out a fight. Now that the mommas dont have to have so many changes they have simmered down and are not problem children.

I never seen a girl that would react to a change so horrible. If you moved grace from the playpen to the cage, it would cause a fight. So no changes for her and she is a good girl. Their babies are Identical to them.
the 4 unsocial girls are still hard to catch. I have to wrap two of the girls to hold them safely so i can make sure they get out time. I can hold 2 of the 4 but I cannot figure out how to get to the 2 untouchables. they will come to me in the cage now for snacks but the second I try to hold them for any reason it is a scream fest. I cannot put them in a cage to socialize them but I can hold them for a second in the blanket to pet them but I am not sure that is helping my fight.

These 2 are works of art. Just massive fear towards people. I cannot put them in my shirt and i think we are ready to move past treats from my hand so what is next for them?

I would like to get the 8 girls together until i can get them spayed but I am not sure what to do to make this happen. These girls are something else.
 
Makes you wonder what kind of life they had before. Something caused them to become the way they have. Sad really. They almost sound like the half wilds.
 
Their cage had nothing in it. One igloo. They said they were "coming" around which is bull becasue I have been trying daily with snacks and I cannot pick them up yet. I am sure they were just put in a cage and left to their own devices.

They act like wild rats but I dont know how to get past this one. I will have to figure out the next step. They come to the door for treats and take them from my hand but we have to move forward at some point.
