Yep, he tried, and hard, but he is only one meerkat, they were all mistakes, when Akida died, it was Rex who had been fighting to protect the pups, but Springer reached and managed to get Akida, and when it came to Akina, all of the other pups had been carried away, and Rex was the closest adult to her, but he didn't know she was there, he thought his other sister Riverdance had her, and for Mikeyal, well, it's up to Goldfish as to how she was separated, but I'm saying it was also on Rex's watch.
