Yeah the family dynamics of Bambi only exist in Disney's magical imagination. In real life I watched young squirrels trying to chew the heads off their cage trapped brethren. Of course I suppose I could have been witnessing a clever tactic to help their bro's escape by removing body parts ?
The moderators just confirmed the surviving chicks are most likely #2 and #3. The smaller one is definitely #3, because the feet are not as developed, and the larger one is more than likely #2 because it's less aggressive. No reason was given why #1 may have died. Not trying to toot my own horn, but I guess I am.
Just seemed likely to me.

Wife pretty much checks in on them every day.
I go to youtube every day, so I just hover my cursor over it or pause my scroll on the phone, get a quick little look, and see how big the buggers are getting. However, one time my timing was lucky and I got to see Shadow arriving with a fresh kill, and then a next, and just stacked a buffet around the next. Those are massive by the way, I had to go look at photos to get a full perspective of it. I have also seen them constantly adding to it, and the fact they use the same one every year, its full home ownership for them, not temporary at all.Wife pretty much checks in on them every day.
