Have you noticed that there seems to be a lot more dibbuns in the abbey than olderbeasts? Where did they all come from?

The better question may be where are the younger animals that are breeding them?  We always seem to hear of the older, elder animals in the abbey, but are these the parents?  They sure don't speak as if they are the parents of the dibbuns.

I've always thought a lot of them were woodland orphans that the Abbey took in.

They are, I think it was in Redwall that he said that.

This is a darker way of thinking it, but usually there's several of these creatures born, but usually very few survive or there's some runts. Do you think that's why there's so many dibbuns and so few old?

There are some things that creatures in real life do that Redwall animals don't. I don't think that that would happen to Redwall animals. That's just me, though.

Young ones looking for adventure out side the abbey walls, Then when they are old they come back to redwall to spend there last seasons.

I'm going to make a poll using all of the ideas you have.

Parents gone for adventures is very improbable.
