Hey All,
So about a week ago we got Murphy, a 2 month old Pemmy Tri Color (pics and such posted sooner or later - I promise) and we're trying to potty train him. We're crate training, and we've been experimenting but I'm ready to really put things in motion. His crate a standard size, and he's doing great with not going in the house (in a week we've had him, he's messed in the house 3 times and I think once was marking his new bed as his). He does, however go in his crate either at night or while we are at work/school. Any feeding/drinking/potty suggestions would be appreciated. We take him out when we get up between 6:30 and 7, then he eats/drinks, then we take him out before we leave around 7:40, and into the crate he goes. At lunch around 11:15 we take him out, we were letting him eat/drink, but now we're thinking about stopping that around lunch. We take him out before we leave around 11:45. Finally around 5 we let him out again, let him eat/drink, and then take him out whenever he has to throughout the evening. Is there a time he should stop eating/drinking in the evening? We go to bed between 9 and 1, usually closer to 10. We take him out just before bed, and put him in his cage for bedtime. Should we get up and take him out during the night at all? Looking for suggestions.
Thanks all, sorry it's so long.
Chris
