Hi there,
I decided to start a new thread because I didn't want this question to get buried in my old thread.
The kittens that my sister and I have been raising started suckling on each others genitals the other day. Except for being grossed out by this, I was told by a friend not to worry, so I let it go. I just did a quick search online though, and I'm reading some sites telling me to seperate them by dividers in a box because the suckling can lead to sores. So far we haven't gotten any sores but they're starting to get their teeth breaking through, and I'm concerned. Should I be seperating them? I'd assume that being together would be best for them, but I want to make sure. Also, if I need to seperate them, how does one go about making such a box for 5 kittens? When could I put them back together?
Thanks
jess
