It wasn't an entirely absurd thought, though Fiona suspected the bandit's instincts to keep predators away might outweigh her inclination to share her latest treasures.

Some of it also had to do with availability, too. Different animals gave birth at different times of the year. The best time to snatch one up is after they were able to eat solid food, but before they are truly independent.
