That would be just the right size for Maine winters I would think. They need roughly 10 sq ft each when they're confined for any length of time.

i have a12x12 run with a metal roof on it for winter time. they come out as long as it isnt stormy. last couple days they came out to my big 300x300 run for the first time since the christmas storm. the big 14inch storm all but gone. its funny watching them some walk on snow others dont like touching snow.

They'll love having that covered run. Mine still hate the snow. They always look at it like it's toxic waste.
