Do you have to do a lot of cleanup? My brother has an Angora, and it produces fertilizer pellets faster than can be cleaned up.

Looks bad enough as it is!

Clean-up time. Ugh. You have my sympathy!

Gum tree?

Gum tree?

Yep, southern sweet gum, I hate them.

Those and sand spurs are the bane of the barefooted.

I've never worked with the wood from one; love to try it.

Almost got it all cleaned up then another storm rolled in. Dropped another inch of rain but no wind this time.

It’s hard and heavy as all get out. It’s used as the top layer in a lot of hardwood laminate flooring now days.

Sweet gum is a difficult wood because it can split, crack, check, twist, bow, etc as it dries. If you're patient it can make a great wood for bowl turning. The sawdust is mildly allergenic and can cause skin allergies.

Like rosewoods. I believe the saying goes "There are two kinds of people: those allergic to rosewood and those who will be."

Nope no clean up there litter trained Mr, clever little men they are. Every now and again you'll get an easter egg on the carpet but thats no problem.

Even outside they'll do there business along the fence lines, id rather them pooping under all my plants for free fertiliser though.

Jeesh. An ancient mulberry came within inches of clobbering the family ruin a few summers ago. Base of the trunk decayed but allowed the tree to gracefully drift rather than snap. Clean-up is always a PITA. Happy nothing got whacked.

Bought plastic shelving to fashion together a platform for the pups' photos. I'll add carpet and a blanket on top. Hopefully they will approve.
