Wow Zippy, I appreciate all that info so much!!!! I'm printing it out to take it all in! Yes, I am planning on getting a cage without the wire bottom. I figured to let him get used to his new surroundings for a few days so as to not disrupt him TOO much on the first day. Yes, I just went to check and that's Cedar shavings. I will look into getting something different tonight.

Yes, I will be looking for a vet on Monday. I'm pretty sure the vet we use is dog/cat only. More research to do on that! And no litterbox *yet*. He is newspaper trained, and I would like to gradually get him used to a litterbox.

I'm sure I'll be back with more questions! Thanks again for all the advice!!!
