I dont know if there is many discrepancys between Uk and sweden. A.C highfield isn`t he from the UK? We learn much from him.
We have open inside pens made out of wood. sand/soil in the bottom and palts and grass inside. I have seen that you have some kind of "white chips"?? on the bottom for your animals. Who about humidity? Doesnt the "chips" get dry in the nose?
Otherwise I dont think we differ alot.
The breeders in Sweden take after A.c Higfield, Holger Vetter and many otherGerman authors.

We also use Nutrobal the same as you do. For uv-light we have PowerSun or MegaRay. I think that MegaRay gives a better light.
You have very good looking outside pens in UK.
