Betty ventured out yesterday morning on top of the wall with the joeys on her back. She had 8 on her but when she came home, I only saw 7.
This morning I woke up about 4 am and decided to check on them. I turned on the cameras and saw that the joeys were scrambling around inside the enclosure. The top camera caught one of the joeys climb the wall like Spider-Man! I jumped out of bed and ran outside to see what happened. When I came out, I saw Betty on the ground with one Joey on her back. Apparently she ventured out and found the one she lost. She was clicking and it made all the other joeys scramble around trying to get out of the enclosure. It was a bit like seeing zombies from World War Z movie trying to climb the walls. I had no idea it was possible for them to even do that much less a joey. Well, here is video evidence! I picked Betty and the Joey up and put them on top of the enclosure and they went back inside.

Betty’s joeys are healthy and growing so quick. They have started exploring the full enclosure while Betty is out on her nightly ventures.
