As summer starts to wind down, I feel incredibly saddened by the fact that I will have to bring Irwin in when the weather turns cold. He has been out in my backyard - 24/7 - since approximately May 25, 2016. He ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!!! We've had an extremely hot/rainy/muggy summer - perfect for him! I was a little reluctant at first - but I check on him daily - and he hasn't even tried to dig out of the fence! I made him a tort house using a dog house that I have that my lil dogs have never used. He did make his own burrow - right in the middle of my flower garden - but he has been using the house now. He's still growing leaps and bounds and seems pretty darn healthy to me! He is a little over 2 years and when I weighed him yesterday - he was 6lbs 80zs and 10 1/2 inches long!
I did order some tort seed and he was been munching on that all summer - along with some of my plants that are safe for him. I do still feed him pellets - but not daily like I used to; only about 3 times per week. He also gets treats of apple, banana and watermellon.
I'm posting some pictures of his house.
This is a view from my porch. This is Irwin's food I planted. He loves it.
This is the other part of the yard. He has access to everything! He dug a really big burrow right by the american flag....
