TK: The group rose up early this morning after dominant female Morning Glory woke up earlier than usual. The family bonded, but there is still tension, as some of the subordinate females are pregnant and are at risk of losing their litters or being evicted. MG led the group out foraging, leaving Leaf to baby-sit. Jupiter found lone pup, Topaz, which she presented to MG. She accepted the youngster. Roving male Lithium eagerly watched the group and tried to catch the females’ attentions. Tank was also in the area, but gets chased off by Stratus after failing to mate with Jupiter. Lithium takes this chance to mate with Faeya and succeeds. Rose Heart finds the group, and is accepted by Morning Glory. Lithium leaves and goes back toward Midnights territory.
MN: Teetsie was first up. Black Widow and Slaughter had mated and were enjoying each other’s company at another burrow. The group has been going through a lot, with the loss and gain of several members. Black Widow returns and is accepted back into the group. As they forage, the group is unaware that the Zippers have invaded and are heading closer to them. The groups finally find each other and fight. Wilson tries to kill the Zippers pups, but not able to, he returns to the main fight. The Midnights eventually lose and are chased further into their territory and back into their burrow. Lithium finds them, but stays in a nearby bolt hole. Lone female Wichita tries to approach the group, but is chased off by Teetsie.
WW: Buckeye gives birth to 5 pups, but pregnant subordinate Luna kills one female, Alice. Traumatized, Buckeye seeks comfort from the rest of her family before leading the group out foraging, leaving trusty babysitters back at the burrow. Tank decides to go roving. Luna follows the foragers from a distance, but heavy sand storms cause some confusion. At the burrow, a cape cobra tries to make a meal of the pups, but Linda and Lancaster mob it. It slithers away, but not before inflicting a small injury on Linda. She rests. Tank returns to the group from roving and baby-sits with Lancaster and Linda. An eagle attack forces the foragers to seek shelter at a bolt hole. However, Verniece does not hear the call and is killed off by the eagle.
B: The group wakes up and rises from the burrow tensely. Enigma leads the group out foraging. There is a lot of bickering between the group members. Snowicane, Belcheri, Cyanide, Casper, and Tokala fight, ending in Snowicane being killed.
DV: Roving male Quagmire stalks the Devils, having his eye on Psycho. Protecting his group, dominant male Simmons chases Quagmire off, and Slaughter fights with him. Quagmire, beaten, decides to try his luck somewhere else, but not before he is finally reunited with Ninja and Mischka. However, Quagmire and Mischka fight.
Z: Running Star leads her group into Midnights territory, needing more food for her family and pups. The groups find each other and fight. They manage to fight off the Midnights and take some territory. Wichita tries to join the group, but is again chased off by Running Star. Peachy was evicted by Running Star.
OR: Starburst is first up and begins to clean the burrow with the other early risers. Joey, although injured, returns back to the group and is greeted affectionately. Iron Wood, however, still holds his place as dominant male. The group goes out foraging, and soon they all take cover as an eagle soars over head. All the members are safe. Roving male Tank creeps into Oreo territory and inspects the females. Flare spots him and sounds the alarm, scaring Tank away. Rattata also tries to find a female, but is also chased off. Starburst decides to lead the group to a new burrow. An eagle attack during the move led to Boomer being taken by an eagle, supposedly killed.
RR: The group was on high alert this morning, especially Scary. The pups play fought roughly. Shasta broke up the fight. Mischka and Ninja are roving in the area, after Amy was taken by a predator. A wild group invades the Reapers territory and finds the group. Scary leads the charge against the wild mob. Part of the group spots Mischka and Ninja and chases them off toward Devil territory before turning their full attentions to the wild mob.
UK: The group woke up late and grudgingly. They still needed a dominant male.
JM: This new group made its first appearance in the desert today. Aliya and Duke groom each other, as Aliya is due to give birth today. The rest of the family joined them above ground, sunning and grooming themselves. Slaughter had found Kumi and mated with her. Duke followed his scent and found Kumi alone (Slaughter had run off). She returned to the group unnoticed. Rattata was the second rover to inspect the group. But he is sensed and runs off toward Oreo territory. Aliya leads the group out foraging, but slowly. A predator alert forces them all to seek shelter in a bolt hole. Following the attack, Wichita tries desperately to join the group. Eventually, she is accepted. Aliya leads the group back and spends the night giving birth.
