How do your goldens do outside Lynne? I know they are prone to the sniffles and don't like cold and damp, so was wondering how Layla gets on outside? X

I have a "plastic" lidded container for her in her section of the greenhouse with a heat mat in (piece of board on top) - that goes on if the temperature is likely to fall below about 12c as she gets miserable and as you say, quick to get sniffles. Have to remember to turn it off in the morning tho otherwise she would stay in bed all day! Bought a couple of cheap MVBs saw on ebay (Real Sun?) Put one of those in for her recently as her inside pen was not ready - that made a huge difference to her activity, mind you, it is 160w lol: Hamish & Harri(et) are still in the house with me in their rabbit cage, just going out on the hot days. They have grown a bit this year, so will be looking to move them out to greenhouse in spring. Do have a pen for the in the new tortoise block, but waiting to see how it works out temperature wise before they take up residence

Thanks John!
We have made allowance for virtually everything as we are on the side of a mountain in Wales The spots were some units we had hanging around from when we did the house up and we thought we would put them in "just in case". (Torts don't seem to mind a bit of bling!) In actual fact, the heat mats (under board) provide a little warmth through the night, the polycarbonate roof is maximising the sunshine, it's presently 22 degrees in there, so all torts are quite happy with just their UV unit on. Well impressed Just waiting for the temperature to drop sufficiently, at a convenient time, to set the thermostat on their oil filled radiator
