Every year kits accompanied by their mothers come to my backyard to explore and eat a few apples from my apple tree. In all the years that this has been happening ,I have never seen kits without their mothers watching over them from a near distance. These two little ones started showing up unaccompanied about a month ago. They come every day and are always alone which tells me that the mother has either abandoned them ,or has been killed. They are fierce in their determination to survive and both have huge personalities. With a little help, hopefully they will be okay .
