Bad weather AND good weather.
I am going to buy a couple more. It kind of surprises me because they do have the entire outdoors to use but sure like those boxes.
Late March or April, depending on the weather, I'll start transitioning them back outside. I'll have several more shelters in place by then.

(122,587 posts)They do spend a lot of time indoors. The weather is going to be in the 40's and supposedly we will finally get some sunshine so things will dry up. It will be interesting to see if they spend more time outdoors.
I definitely plan to do a good sweep out of all of the 'stray' straw that's all over the place.
