Finally took some pictures of Cecil's outdoor enclosure. It's a little small, but you can see from the pictures that it will tide him over for a little while. We have room to go much larger when we need to.
It's 2'x4'. The hubby built it from scrap lumber. The substrate is organic garden soil and it is planted with sulcatafood seed. It would probably be a lot denser, but it was open for about a week before we put the lid on it, and I think the birds got to a good amount of the seed. Still, Cecil has had plenty to graze. The back covered part is all hide. The screened part is hinged. I need to get hubby to hinge the hide because that's where Cecil is now, the poop-eating little sneak, so he's been allowed to stay in it longer than usual today, because I haven't felt like sticking my hand in there yet to feel around for him.
Cecil loves it and he gets a lot more active when he's out in the sun gobbling down those little seedlings like he's Pacman. Even though it's causing me some anxiety, I think he's going to start getting a lot more time outside. So far I've just put him in it while I water the veggie garden, but I think he's going to start to spend a good portion of the day out there. Thoughts, good or bad about that? He's about three months old.
