So I spent Saturday wrestling with some Cuprinol and a 6ft x 4ft happy hutch combo - quite surprised I managed to assemble it between me and a very small manual screwdriver!
Anyway.. There hasn't been frost down here for a while, and night time temps are averaging 8 degrees celsius.. is it ok to put them outside now? Bearing in mind they've been in a room with the heating off as I have chinchillas too and they can't cope with heat
Also as they are litter trained I don't want to be covering the whole of the hutch with straw/hay etc.. is it ok to just put blankets etc down on the wood or do they need something more substantial? I'm going to put their carrier in the hutch part as a shelter, as the divider thing that came with it was rubbish and I just binned it :? this has vet bed on the bottom of it too..
I've got some tarpaulin and a thick blanket to use to cover the hutch at night.. but I'm totally new to the outdoor thing.. is this going to be enough.. if not what else should I use??
Ta in advance
