When I returned, the norns were still in one very large group. Eventually, some of the norns wandered off, though I couldn’t see any particular reason why. Perhaps some of the norns were finally starting to feel crowded enough to wander away?
As I expected, it didn’t take long for some of the females to become pregnant and even have twins! It seemed like the older, more prolific females were starting to lose their edge and there were no clear favorites among the males.
Soon enough, it was time to introduce yet another baby. Next to enter my care was Eve, another little lady.
With so many Norns returning to the Norn Meso, I thought she had plenty of adults around to help raise her, and I was right. They offered her the same advice that they’d offered each other and she occasionally listened to it.
More pregnancies came and went and soon, 35 eggs were in storage, waiting to be hatched. Including the egg that accidentally hatched too soon, we had a total of 36 babies waiting and we still had 13 more norns to import into the world. Naturally, the pregnancies kept coming.
Eventually, it got to the point where I was so busy just keeping everyone fed that I hardly had time for anything else. Before I knew it, it was time to introduce yet another Norn.
This time, it’s another one of our winners, Kerplunk. This cute little guy tied with Drake and Stain for first in the wolfling run. Hopefully, he’ll be a more successful breeder this time around
With the addition of him, our norn population reached an impressive 14 members. Our oldest norn, Synergy, was now over 3 hours old, though! Soon, her coat would take a different color and she would be out of the running when it came to mating.
