Hi all
I have recently added two baby double maned mini lion lops to our family. They are brother and sister and we have named them Crystal and Sandy. We have had them since 8 weeks old and they are now 4months old. I have been trying to litter train them but finding it very difficult. To make it more difficult we have only one cage and had to start leaving Sandy out on his own at night as he is getting to full on with Crystal and will need neutering this month. Sandy is able to use the litter tray at night but crystal isn't as she stays in the cage.
I have two concerns really:
1. How do I litter train both successfully (given that sandy will need to stay in the cage once he has been neutered)
2. I am worried about the surgery as have heard / read a couple stories that have gone wrong. How do I stop him nibbling / licking his wound and should he have a nappy on while he heals?
