I trap animals and cause problems. Maybe I'm doing it backwards!

2 more babies from that same litter. That makes 8 babbies, a record for me

Now you're catching "babbies"?

As long as they pay I will take them all

What Dave meant is "babies" versus young of year or juvenile in terms of terminology for wildlife management.

(At least based on previous posts of this type...)

These are definitely babies, about 6 inches long without tail. Have been going after babies for about 3 weeks now

Sorry travelin,

Let me clarify. Many folks object to the use of the term "babies" or "mother" etc....

I'm sure you are catching what you say you are, Dave's comment related to using human terminology
for wildlife.

I personally have no dog in the fight, though I use terms like pup, kits, hatchlings, cubs, for whatever is appropriate for
the species.

Some would say to talk about wildlife professionally you should use the terms given to young wildlife, however again homeowners and
the general public will use about every term in the book, so again to me, whatever floats your boat.

Just clarifying we are talking terms....

Duh, Dave's comment had to do with using three Bs to spell Babbbies.

"Young", "juveniles" and "nestlings" work for every species.
"Babies" refers to human infants.

Well I hate to bust everyone's bubble but the definition of baby is:

1.a very young child, especially one newly or recently born

2. a young or newly born animal

3. the youngest member of a family or group
