I did a little updating as far as the Redfoots go. It has been really hot here, and it was worrying me a bit. I use the sprinkler during the worst heat, but I do have to go to work and be gone too...
So, I built some nice "caves" for added shade and coolness. I used huge 24" X 24" patio stones and cinder blocks. The blocks create the "legs" and the big patio stones are the roof. I also placed a piece of 2" thick pink styro insulation under the roof. It stays really nice and cool in there.
The other thing I did was to make the lattice shade area bigger, it is now 8' long vs. the 4' that it was before.
I built a small pen for the baby Redfoot, and she has here own little cave too, with a smaller more snug hide inside it.
