Hello Hello 
It's been forever since I last posted.
So I'll start with an update. Juno is doing great. She is being fed everyday to every other day. She is thriving and is doing great. She still is a bit shy with strangers, but runs(well crawls) to her feeding stone when I walk outside. She's a smart. She is doing great.
Now that it's getting cold, Juno won't like being outside at all.
For this year, my parents gave me 2 choices. But I have some concerns.
1)
I recently bought a spare 30 gallon breeder fish tank because my guppies had babies. But now the fry are in a big tank, and the tank is sitting there.
Mom and dad said that for the winter, Juno can come inside, BUT has to stay in that tank. It's really quite big. She can stay in there comfortably. I can add an adhesive heat pad to the bottom of one side(for warmth) and a light bulb on the same side. I will have about an inch of hay for substrate in the whole tank. I will also not keep a water bowl(she still doesnt drink on her own). But I will keep a feeding rock and a box for her small sleeping hut.
My concern is will the light cause fires? Also, since she is staying in the garage(the only animals in the house are the dogs(but they only sleep in my room at night) the bird and fish. Juno isnt allowed, but can stay in the garage. My dad parks the car in there at night. But we leave the door leading into the house from the garage open to let some of the air out. Will this be ok?
Option 2(which is very bad).
Juno stays outside, but in her dog house in the porch but we can get a heat lamp to attach to her dog house(she only sleeps in here)
I prefer option 1 as she has some space to roam about in. As opposed to just a dog house. I can also take her outside on sunny days. It was raining today and about 70 F, she was outside eating grazing. I flipped out and moved her into her dog house then moved it to the porch. I guess she likes rain...
But yes, any input is nice
