Ah woooow that's AMAZING

Hopefully there will be some unrelated litters soon so I can get a lil boy for the Phoebster!

Is your Blossum litter trained? Phoebe was doing really well but now refuses point blank to use it!!

Are you keeping her in something during the day?

I have been leaving Phoebe just out in my room 24/7 but been thinking about getting a dog crate to try and litter train her form scratch and then start letting her out again.

She comes to work with us most days , and to be honest she does nothing during the day, at night she has the run untill we go to bed then she goes in her dog crate, she will go to the tray in there or the skunks somtimes when she is out, she is very good to be honest.

Yogi and Blossom always use their litter tray, if they are away from it they generally wait till they are back, can only think of a couple of accidents

Cool Nice stuff....!

Congrats, you two! Been trying to get across to see you for last few weeks....

And on the poo front.....Puck is generally ok although he had a little accident with hot tea last weekend (scalded his foot -my fault - I was devastated, he is almost fully recovered now) and has done a couple large wees on the windowsill immediately after feeding/drinking (he likes to eat here!) and has weed a few times on the carpet at the end of the settee (pongs there now), very unlike him, really and he does have the run of the living room and conservatory after we go to bed (Im always up till 1 am plus..).
Dont think Puck would take kindly to a crate, now.....

....boy is it quiet without the skunkie kits around!!!!!

Dave.
