Last winter I had reggie in from early October after his neuter and Ruby in from December for bonding so as i want to keep them out all winter this will be my first one.
Last year Ruby got to come in every night and play in the hall and reggie got to play in the bedroom. When they were both bonded they were both out every night in the bedroom. Since being outdoors they get to play in their run (which isn't attached to the hutch as my patio is a funny shape) all afternoon until it is dark on Saturday and Sunday but as i don't get home until 6.45 most nights it is now getting too dark for their night time play (in the summer i was leaving them out until about 9.30)
What do people do who don't have attached runs? my plans on building my aviary aren't actually going anywhere at the moment as it is going to involve lifting and relaying a section of patio to get it flat.
I am worried about the changes in temp of bringing them indoors for a play at night. I do wonder though, my kitchen has a tile floor which keeps the temperature down a bit in there so would it be OK for them to play in there for a few hours a night do you think? i could turn the radiator off in there too. Obviously it will be quite a bit warmer than outside but not as warm as the rest of the house. I will need to hurry and get my kickboards on under my kitchen units though as i can just see ruby crawling under and eating the cable running to my cooker!
