OK, this will be really quick. someone recommended using PUPPY TRAINING PADS a while back, and i found something that is like it. it is LASSIE PUPPY HOUSEBREAKING PADS. they're distributing by Carter-Wallace, Inc..... anyone ever heard of 'em? anyway they're like super huge so i figured i'd cut them into small pieces and place them in the litter box but on the package it says that they're "Sealed on four sides to prevent leakage". Leakage of what? would it be dangerous for a fuzzie? it's got a super powerful scent (ya can smell it thru the sealed plastic bag [i haven't opened them yet] and hooooooo-WEEE!!! they would smell good if it wasn't so strong, but apparently it atracts puppies to use them so who's complaining)? thanks for all the helpful emails on ECE. you've all been great helps. i got some equipment for it, and am now looking for a good-quality inexpensive cage. i'm home almost all day so it could just run around, and the cage would just be for eating& sleeping& pooping, so the cage doesn't have to be huge. in fact, an old wire rabbit cage that's somewhere around 30(L) by 18(W) by 12 - 14(H) would work just fine. remember, i'm in TEXAS. well, so much for being quick. i can't wait to get my fuzzball of joy! signing off and out ################ Civilian::: "Do you know him?"
