Moving Lopsy

Wise Old Thumper
We moved Lopsy back outside! Yay! No more being woken at Godawful-o'clock by someone thumping at next door's bats or whatever it is! And no more traipsing upstairs multiple times a day! Although do have to go out in the wet, but I still prefer that to going up and down the damn stairs!

Here he is wondering why I'm not feeding him:

So I pushed some brambles down for him: he's very good at balancing now :)

We put him outside in the puppy pen 'extension' while we sorted his actual run: here he is exploring:

Looking in the garage: he was VERY interested in what was in there!

Matt built his run and we decided to just move him over and he could jump through the pen door into his hutch: we reckoned he could jump that high easily (yep!). So Matt dragged the run over and Lopsy took the easy option of sitting in his hay tray:

Then got distracted by something and hopped off for a look:

And this is it! Back in the tiny hutch of stupid :evil: But better for his claws on the concrete: I'll be providing him with a digging pit later this week but we didn't want him tunneling through the grass, and the grass isn't in amazing nick at the moment! He's also sheltered from the wind and rain better there, right next to the house. He does have more toys and a tarpaulin now too :) He's pretty much got the same floorspace as he had upstairs, but without the sliding everywhere :mrgreen:

Wendy house work is ongoing: as I plan to go to some one-day events it does mean I might have a better chance of getting it finished since it means I'm not gallivanting elsewhere! End of March and Easter are out though: holidays around the UK!
 
Is he ok to go outside permanently if he is used to being indoors, he wont have his winter coat? :wave:
Thanks for your concern! :wave: He was outdoors until Christmas Eve, then indoors due to being unwell, and he's been in an unheated attic since. It's only a 3°C difference in the attic from the outside temperature (both thermometer checked ;)) :) He's still VERY fluffy (got a lovely undercoat) and I made sure he was super-warm last night as it was due to be frosty (and gawd, WAS it frosty this morning early!). He seems alright (for Lopsy :roll:), and I've not found that much fluff about upstairs to indicate a full moult :) More worried about the windchill but we've made sure he's as sheltered as possible, getting him used to it all again :) Good weekend to do it, actually: a cold spell overnight last night but due to be warm (10°C) every day this week here so no different to his attic temperatures for the last few weeks! Just need to watch for cold nights.
