If I'm out all day at work but the weather forecast is for rain showers on and off all day, is it better to:
A) leave Shirley outside, she can always get out of the rain in the undercover part of her outdoor enclosure and the benefit of natural sunlight for part of the day will outweigh the rainy patches.
B) leave Shirley inside, she will be dry (with access to water obviously) but under the lamp rather natural light.
Assumptions:
It's not that cold outside (no lower than 18c).
Inside run has a reasonable level of humidity.
I have been in two minds for the last week, and have variously plumped for either option. Clearly both have merits and problems but what would you do?
