We knew it would happen once Crockett finished his meds, and sure enough, on November 26 the curators decided it was time.
Crockett finished his meds at last.
Time for introductions!
Scruffy and Crockett have met by the gate several times before.
Curator Greg moved the siblings out into the acclimation pen, so he could clean the room.
They waited outside.
Curator Katrina added apple slices and peanut butter.
As usual, Scruffy entered first.
Rather than meeting Crockett, Scruffy ate and ate.
This is how close they got to each other.
Rags came in.
Rags and Scruffy stayed for lunch (uninvited).
Crockett stayed in his corner. It wasn’t the best meeting, but not atypical for cubs. Stay tuned to see the next chapter!
