Jetta lives outside, has free range of the back yard. It gets chilly here at night (fifties, high forties at times), so I was worried he would be having trouble with digestion, respiration. So I got him an outdoor heating pad and built a little cave for him to hide in at night. It has plenty of headroom, and room for him to turn around.
Before this, I'm assuming he's dug himself a burrow in the dirt, under the mulch behind my cottage. It's pretty wild back there.
I'm planning on putting in some ornamental grasses and a few potted succulents around the cave to make it more sheltered, give him some privacy and protection from wind. The heated pad is on a timer, goes on at 5pm, turns off at 9am.
