spend about 1 1/2 hours trying to shift family from den tree to a shift cage or traps. It ends up taking an incredibly long time and we don't start actual processing until ~930 PM, with 8 animals to do.

All animals are in good shape & have gained weight - except the adult lactating ♀ who dropped from 650 to 540 grams in 2 1/2 weeks and the young ♀ #6 who gained, but much less than her brother ( 100 grams less).

We aren't finished until 1 AM & only put transmitters on #1 7 & 8
