Kits
Kits
Kits are the youngest pet life stage. They are vulnerable, dependent, and not ready for adult colony work.
Age and Growth
Kits are usually level 1 underneath the growth system. They later grow into apprentices or young pets before becoming adults.
Pages may show age in days rather than only old level labels.
What Kits Cannot Do
Kits cannot safely:
- Breed.
- Take adult colony jobs.
- Scout, hunt, explore, fish, patrol, raid, or fight.
- Handle dangerous travel or high-risk training.
Nursery Needs
Kits need safe nursery support. They may require:
- Family beds or nursery space.
- Caretakers or parents.
- Wetnurse support when appropriate.
- Clean, dry bedding.
- Food, water, and healthy colony conditions.
Risks
Kits are especially vulnerable to:
- Sickness outbreaks.
- Cold, heat, mold, smoke, flooding, or harsh weather.
- Unsafe water, spoiled food, pests, and dirty bedding.
- Parent death, neglect, or lack of nursery care.
- Mutation-related fragility where supported.
Orphaned Kits
If a parent dies, kits may need extra colony support. Wetnurses, caretakers, nursery beds, and safe conditions become even more important.

Echo Note - Inherited vulnerability
Some kits may be more fragile because of genetics, inbreeding, mutations, or pregnancy conditions. Nursery care matters more when a family line carries risk.
