Winter Project Phase 1

Side of the greenhouse is now covered up with a sheet of plastic. Now the house is completely wind-proof.
We also put a polystyrene box inside of their hutch to make it cosier. They weren't sure about this white block to begin with, but they quickly got used to it and now most of them lay eggs in it. Hope they can suss out that it's warm inside too.


Another thing we added to the house, is STRAW. Why didn't we give this magical bedding material to them earlier......THEY LOVE IT!!!!!!

They spend ages digging and foraging. We scatter mealworms in this, and they LOVE IT! 

Hope this gives them extra warmth. They certainly look very happy in there. I suppose it's not TOO cold yet. See how we get on when it's frosty / snowy...We got a couple more polystyrene boxes, just in case...
