I got a dog house, took the bottom and turned it upside down and put it on the sidewalk in my backyard. I am thinking of putting the top in the grass somewhere. Percy has stayed outside a few times at night (when I couldn't find him). Sometimes, when it rains while I am at work he is stuck outside until I get off to bring him in. Basically, through fault and trials, he has survived outside without much of a shelter before.
He is almost 8". I still don't know his weight since the scale I bought is too small to weigh him - I just have to save and get a bigger one.
Now I have this doghouse for him, so he has shelter outside. I live in South Louisiana - it does not go lower than 80* at night, and the area is well drained (doesn't flood). Is there any problem with him staying outside all night?
Please bring up all possible issues so I can address them or decide to still bring him in. My main worries are a balanced diet, hydration and him getting lost or sick. Thanks!
