Default 3 1/2 months on!

What a difference 3 1/2 months can make to the look of a new enclosure!

Yes Bev, the kennel has been insulated and I am planning on installing a tube thingy (can't remember the name!!) so that I can fill it with earth and they can hibernate in there.
I can't believe how it has grown in so quickly, from a bare pen to this in three and a half months! I think a bird planted that corn
The other half of it has only been used on a few days so far, I need to get a coldframe and kennel type thing really before it can be a more permanent area, so far the Horsfields have all taken it in turns to explore it for a day at a time

Looks great Alley. I guess the good weather helped a lot. Will this area be for your Hermans? I forgot you had them. How old are they now?
