Alycidon Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Always deal with the adults first...... Cubs can be sorted the next day It's the adults doing the damage Gaz Agreed, the cubs will sometimes stand for a few seconds wondering what the problem is with mum/dad. They will re appear after 20/30 mins anyway. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
