My babies will be four weeks old tomorrow (by my best guess), and have been living in a modified rabbit hutch on my screened porch for the last two weeks. DH is building a lovely mobile coop for them.
This morning when I left, it was so warm that I almost shut off their warming light, but DH told me a front was due, so I left it on, and draped a towel over that end of their cage, so one side would be nice and warm. I left the other side open to the air so they could regulate their temps.
Well, the cold front came in with a vengeance, and wouldn't you know, the wind knocked out the power. I have no idea how long it was out here, as I was at work. The girls seem OK, and the light was back on when I got home. Hopefully it was only out a few minutes.
I have covered the other side of the cage with an old cloth shower curtain, to keep the worst of the wind off of them. I think I'm going to go cuddle them a bit, and make sure they're toasty!
I'm worried about future power losses when I'm away... any ideas?
