Redfoots Outside

Abram · 12-05-2008, 08:05 PM

We took our 3 little guys out for the first time in their lives last week. Have been out every day hot enough since, have added a cover to enclosure and will be getting some hides next along with stuff for them to walk around etc.

are enjoying being outdoors...long may the good weather last

They cant dig under that fence/wall/pen? I've wondered how people prevent dig outs when using that type of retaining wall. Great pics by the way!

Hi Michael / Madeline,

They are looking fantastic, good to see them outside in the good weather.

Lovely big enclosure for your little ones!

(Scot - I use this log roll for my enclosure as well and you can dig as much of it down below surface level as you want to prevent digging under, also wire mesh can be laid under your substrate and attached to the log roll boundary. The log roll is available in a range of lengths).

Thanks all! They seem happy enough with the enclosure and we planted more seeds so they have loads of available fresh food to graze on

We only keep them outside for a few hours a day while the temps are over 20 degrees, but I reckon some sun is better than no sun at all 8)
