Didnt’ Surya give birth to Kendari last year? If so then these two baby’s have an extremely close age gap.

Sari is the mother of Kendari. Surya the mother of the new baby and Soraya was the mother of Maya who is the oldest sister of the two babies. Sol had unsuccesful pregnancies. Sadly she doesn't have any babies. Both Sol and old lady Mota are good aunties of Kendari.

Really surprised by this news as I never thought Ramon would breed. The move to fresh females at Munster must have stimulated him somehow, unless he was just dominated too much by the ones in Blackpool where he never bred over the many years he was there, even with the new younger female. Either way its good news.

Indeed. I am very surprised by this news- to say the least...

How long has Ramon been at Blackpool? And how was the social situation at Blackpool?
From where did he come?

And how is the social situation at Muenster?

Ramon was born in St Petersburg in 1998. Someone will correct if I'm wrong, but I think he was hand reared and quite puny. He moved to Blackpool in 2003 to live with Victoria and her two daughters, Cherie (b. 1997) and Summer (b. 2002). Jingga (b. 2009) joined them from Barcelona in 2017. Victoria died in 2019. It would seem that he didn't impress any of them. He moved to Munster last June.
As far as I know, Munster has female Temmy (b. 1981), female Mandi (b. 1999), male Ito (b. 2006), female Niah (b.2013), male Mr Miyage (b. 2014) and now Ramon and the new baby.

Münster only has Temmy, Mandi and Niah as females, and Ramon and the baby as males. Mr Miyagi lives in Sosto since last summer, Ito as TigerStripe mentioned.

Yes he was- being both handraised and rather a weakling to start with. He also seemed (not surprisingly perhaps) very humanised and spent a lot of time as an adult sitting close to the glass interacting with visitors. I suspect maybe the older females dominated him as he was younger than them and this continued even after he was adult, but it doesn't explain why he didn't breed with the younger new female Jingga when she arrived. He must have started mating soon after his arrival at Munster. An example of a beneficial move certainly.
