[MandiesMom]

Thanks for the tips and reading material, both of you!!

I do have a gate that I gate Gilbert off by himself while I'm gone to work and while we sleep. I let him out for an hour before I go to work and for a few hours after I come home so he can play and run. Other than that area, Mandie and Shelby have run of the house at all times.

Dawn, Shelby is named after my Daddy (I know it is usually a girls' name lol). He is neutered. Mandie is spayed. Gilbert (who is right at 13 to 14 weeks old now..?pretty sure) is not. He doesn't even have his "gear" yet lol (sorry..it's a southern thang). Buttt, I will say that I noticed he is aware of his penis because he kept licking it last night and the turtle would pop out of the shell from time to time LOL (sorry..I really am stressed and haven't had much sleep so I'm being silly).
