Yes that is curious. I noticed that Sage and Curry did not seem to mate at all since the birth of their pups. He tried once but she wouldn't allow it. They could have mated sometime when I wasn't around. But I won't know that for a while yet. Sage was out of the nest for about one week before he was allowed to help with the babies though. He sure seemed happier babysitting than being alone... until the pups got bigger and still tried as hard as they could to find nips on him. lol
