As there are many things I used to do that I am a little less apt to do now. It is nice to want to find a way to keep your baby warm is it in it's best interest. What will happen to the bonding process with you being gone away from him for 4-5 weeks? Obviously it isn't feaseable to take him with you. If I am not mistaken you said he was only 3 1/2 months OOP. What would you do if this was a new born infant? I am worried all the work you went through to bond can be destroyed by you being gone for that length of time. Have you left him in the cage for more than a day and not played with him? How does he react? Mine gets upset and snubbs me for a day or so afterwards. What will happen after 5 weeks? All of your concerns are identical to mine, thus the problem. But I have figured out a solution. Our parents stay on the mainland in a camper than has an extra room and electricity, so since we stay on the island only at night and come in at least 8 or 10 hours a day, they agreed to house him and keep him warm. That way I can still spend all day with him. I hadn't wanted to put that burden on them before, and was hoping to find another way, but they offered. Thanks for you input! Kim
