Forest fires

[sueb4653]

we have forest fires all around us and the air quality kinda sux should I keep them inside?

I would keep them inside, ash in the air is bad for them, shoot its bad for us

How about here in Denver? we are farther from the actual fires but it just started to get a bit "foggy" with the smoke and I can definitely smell it in the air. Should I be worried too? or can I keep them outside in their pen like they have been living? I don't have their indoor stuff turned on at the moment, plus I am at work anyway so I can't bring them in right now.

Usually it will look overcast but red and dark dirty looking. I usually leave them out till I start seeing ash falling, then I would bring them I till it clears up a little, it's not the best air quality when there's a fire near by

Ok cool, I don't see anything falling, just a bit overcast. I'll keep an eye out for ash falling. Sorry to sort of hijack your thread Sue, but you brought up a good point that I had not really thought of.

I would keep them in. Be safe
