I'll be cleaning some nestboxes soon so thought I'd share a hint. Save those little wooden crates with plastic netting that tangerines come in (called "Cuties" in our area). They are handy to keep the kits corraled while you change their stinky, damp bedding. Be sure to put down a paper towel in the bottom as the kits surely pee the minute their feet touch unfamiliar territory. Put the kits in the tangerine crate, pull the netting over them. Save out dry/clean momma fur, replace the soiled shavings & fur with fresh. Take care to make quite a concave depression near the back of the box as surely they will want to "bail out" when put back in their fresh, clean nestbox. I don't know what it is but they always seem insulted that you had the nerve to "clean their room" and they want to tumble outside the box immediately. If they are too young to get back in the nestbox unassisted and you wish to keep them in, turn the low end into a corner. Feel free to use any of these hints in your local club's newsletter, just give author credit if warranted.
Thank you to all those that sent Congrats about the BIS and complimented the awards and shadowboxes, either here under comments or by private email.
