Re: Outdoor Enclosures.

So James...Tell us...How are the plans coming along?

I finally found a decent place myself to construct an outdoor enclosure!
It has sunshine from around 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. I'd prefer more hours of sunshine, but my dad won;t let me cut down trees ( ).

My plans are temporarily on hold...... until I become very rich and own vast tracts of land!

Re: Outdoor Enclosures.

No plans here, just actions!



Do you think I should remove the big log in the center?

I plan on throwing any noticeable garter poos toward the grassy area. :P

Re: Outdoor Enclosures.


I still need to work on this bit, but aside from the few inches of oak on the top there's another 3 inches buried beneath some peat-type mulch. I'm hoping that whole compost heat thing may come into effect here. :P
There will also be more elaborate hides here.
**Edit- Also, notice that this area is raised so that when rain comes, it all goes downhill. ;D

Re: Outdoor Enclosures.

Is it having a lid, Kyle? I think if I was a Garter I could get out of there.
[edit: Okay, I see the lid!]

Re: Outdoor Enclosures.

Just a random thought, I think they may need better shelter in case of bad weather.
