Outdoor enclosure safety
Hi
I'm just building a nice big enclosure for my two Hermann's, and was planning on them staying out 24/7. How do you ensure that they are safe from predators e.g. rats, foxes during the night? Do you have any advice for the type of outdoor housing that might be appropriate and safe? Many thanks L |

Mine stay out they have a greenhouse that has a box in it to go in at night if they choose to stay out then it's their choice.

If you have a solid wooden box with a door that can be closed, they should be fine , or a green house or shed.
