So I just want to vent for a moment, I have been junked up since Sunday, my boss has been asking me if I'm "sick" if I have a "fever" all week, NO I don't. I went to the Dr today and have a sinus infection (this is normal for me) I get back to the office and the president of the company (my boss) asks "did you get tested for covid" NO, the Dr said I have an obvious sinus infection...(I am the only person in the office who is not vaccinated) I just wish everyone would get off the covid train!

A deep dirt bath will help. They love to dig when its hot. Is the kennel under deep shade? Is the cage secure?
Raccoons can reach inside and snakes, and even skunks can get in if there isn’t a layer of hardware cloth over the bars. The area around the door shouldn't have gaps either.
I'm not trying to cause you grief, Im just letting you know so you can prevent it.

Thank you very much you've been very helpful. The kennel has a tarp over the top to prevent direct sunlight to hopefully prevent overheating an also I'm going to put plastic bottles with frozen water so she can use these to cool off as well.

Do you have pics of your setup, it may help us come up with some more ideas
