Thank you. I have now made it bigger, because i have a male and female so i can part them when i need too. But they do get on so well together! x

Hi Darren

firstly i meant write so i can part them when i need to, Not too

I have had them from a year old.  

The outdoor enclosrue was 6ft now it about 9ft

they have lots of time in the garden, but only when I'm out there. we have lots of magpies in our area,  last year when sitting having a cup of tea watching them in the garden a magpie came down and was about to attack buttercup. Anyway thank you again for your comment, I do my up-most best to look after them

Hi Karen

A lovely set-up and it blends in well with the rest of the  garden. Every year there needs to be something changed in the pens doesn't there, but it is great fun getting it ready for them. Are yours already out of hibernation yet?

Hi Jane

Yes you are right,like change a few things now and then. And look for new little huts and things to make it more interesting for them. No not out of hibernation yet, was a bit hit and miss last year because of the warm weather over late november, They didn't want to go to sleep. Due out 1st wk of march and i can't wait. Igo up very 2nd day to make sure all is well! They are in the loft area But well insolated
