Outdoor enclosure for Redfoots?

[Anyfoot]

Great advice again, thanks @JoesMum and @Anyfoot - really helpful. The spot is a sun trap. I was out at 9am and the whole area was sunny, it's now half 4 and still in full sun. I'm going to mark out an area and see how it look, I'm keen on the pallet idea, and a cover will be easy enough. I think I'll make two frames for the cover rather than one bigger one, it will be stronger then.

I've posted a new topic with my weeds, I think there are 32 pics so I'm not expecting many replies!

Cool, keep us updated , don't forget to create deep shaded areas, little one also overheat faster. So with shade they can self regulate.

Would you just use the natural soil or add topsoil, bark, moss etc?

I would just use the natural soil. You could do with different terrains, like grass/weed areas, bare soil and soil with mulch on. In the grass/weed area let some areas overgrow so they can get lost in it. You could do with some bushes that they can hide under, these walk also provide shade. Mine seem to get a buzz out of forcing there way through dense bushes.
