Pio's new outdoor pen

Today was 75 outside, so I took Pio outside for a bit in his new little pen. The plants haven't grown enough, and the Spring Mix seeds didn't come up either, but it was only for a little bit. He walked around for a while, and then just sat there. He was "gulping" a lot, (like when they are getting stressed) so I brought him back in. I guess he was never outside. Enough for today. This will do well for him this summer, and I will think of something bigger for next summer. I have a screen top, but I took it off to take the pictures.

RE: Pio's new outdoor pen

Thank you. I planted some dandelion, pansy, nasturtium, Spring Mix seeds,strawberry, and moss, and along the side I planted some Butter lettuce. Under the hide I have some long fibered moss (the kind that Terry said to get, I forgot the name). How warm should it be before I put him out? Like, what degree should it be?
