But I know Jack and he adjusts very well, after all he has gone from sugar water from an eye dropper, being fed in my hand to drinking and eating from a dish like a big boy. We put the crate together and the next day he went and got in himself. I have started feeding him in there in hopes that by next week he will be sleeping there as well. If you guys have advice on how I could be successful please let me know. Trying to housebreak him, he does ok but still having mistakes.
