Allowing burrowing in the run.....

.....to keep cool?

Dennis and Bella have made themselves a burrow in their run and appear to be using it to keep cool. I wouldn’t usually allow this and usually block off any burrows as soon as I see them but I’m tempted to let them keep this one in view of the heat. They are both in it now despite the run door being open for them to come out into the garden. The run is fully meshed underneath on what was originally grass but is now layers and layers of earth, hardwood chips and hay (it’s covered on top and three sides with shading).

Does anyone else allow burrowing? I don’t believe they can dig out, it’s weldmeshed underneath.

Good idea MM, I’ll investigate the burrow tonight when it cools down and block it off with a pot. They are clever little things, they’ve dug it under a wooden garden bridge I’d painted and put in the run to give them some shade - they’ve got even more now!

So long as no escape, then I'd let them have it. Neither of mine burrow thankfully

I like MMs plant pot idea!
