Editing Lellsie (section)

== Growth Rate & Stages == 
After emerging from their eggs, lellsie are blind and their stubby wings have no feathers. Each of the three types is born with an egg tooth at the end of their snout. They have some scales but these are soft and don't afford much protection. They can navigate by smell.<br>
A few days after emerging, their eyes open and their scales harden, offering some protection from predators. They can't see very well yet. By this time, their egg tooth has fallen off.<br>
By the end of their first week, small feathers have begun to develop on their wings. Longtails and Padfoots develop their tufts around this time as well. Their vision has improved enough to make their way around the nest area. They've now doubled in size.<br>
After their second week of life has passed their beginning to learn how to hunt, roughhousing with their nestmates and parents, and attempting to kill small insects and rodents that come near the nest. They're a third of their adult size.<br>
By the end of their first month they're hunting with their parents. They aren't quite fully grown yet, but they've developed full wings and a proper set of scales by this time.<br>
Sometime between the end of their first and second month, the young lellsie go on independent hunts. After a few successful kills, they begin to leave the nest in search of their own place to live. Males tend to relocate farther away from their parents than the females.<br>
