This phase is characterised by attempts to absolve the parents from the responsibility of causing the disorder, and by capitalising on the strengths of their parenting to facilitate their offspring's nutritional rehabilitation.

Pups also emit distinct vocalizations called isolation calls (i-calls) that facilitate mother-offspring reunions, but how pups shift their vocalizations from i-calls to downward frequency modulated (FM) sweeps used in echolocation remains unclear.
