Hi guys, I'm at finishing phases of my outdoor enclosure build for my RF yearlings in Texas. What do you guys do for hides? Can you share ideas/post pics?

I just used plastic/terracotta pots on their side and buried a bit to keep it cool and stable.

He has a terracotta pot and a be do log bridge. He loves the bendy bridge and buries himself under it for hours.

When I had small ones outside. I no longer do.
I had a battery box for my boat that I cut a square hole in near the bottom. It had a top that snapped on and off. The whole thing was made of plastic and I packed it with hay.
My Redfoot loved it and they would run to get back inside.
It was black and easily blended in and at about $20, it was a water resistant perfect solution that I used for years.

I have also used clay roof tiles. I had a bunch left over from our new roof.
