Hi there! I bought/rescued a 1-2 yr old male 2 weeks ago. His first owner was afraid of him and never let him out, and the second owner was just clueless in general. They fed him once a day (this is a 4 lb guy), there was nothing to sleep on in the cage, he was their two year old's toy, etc. He is very good natured, doesn't bite and gets along with dayton, a 1 lb ?yr old female. The problem is trying to litter train him. He has no concept of going in a box, on paper, let alone in a corner. He goes on his blankets in the cage at night (much to dayton's chagrin, I'm sure) and even on his food and water dishes. I am in the process of trying new litters and bigger boxes, but this is pretty frusterating. The worst part is now dayton is starting to go where he goes. Anybody have any suggestions? He is fixed too. nikki [Posted in FML issue 1242]
