"faired poorly" (fared poorly)
"particular fruitful" (particularly fruitful)

provide a quick should (do you mean "shroud" or "snack"?)

" one to two little ones" For a scientific description, you should say "offspring", "infants", or something similar.

Made the changes, and still haven't managed to procure one to test that. They tend to bolt immediately upon being seen.

Done and done.
