Cheers for your reply :-) Yes, it will have a removable lid (like her box now) and a little closeable door at the front to keep our nosy hedgehogs and mice out at night! One that she can push open tho herself. I do think black because hopefully the wood will warm a little during the day to help...
I only have a girl and she's very friendly and bold. Happily says hello to folk when we are out, never seems to get frightened and the only time she shows any aggression is if she comes across something orange. So far she headbutts an orange bag of leaves at the church we walk at and she has...
