OH! I've been meaning to ask this question. Do NNs have issues with getting sunburnt?

Mine never have but they are introduced to sun as early and often as I can manage.

Mine made it through a Texas summer without a problem with sunburn, but I have lots of oak trees for shade too.

Huh...I made it through a couple Texas summers too, but I DID get SUNBURNED!! I love Texas but could not stand the heat...Live Oak trees notwithstanding!

EDIT:A childhood friend who lives in Houston called me yesterday...telling me about icy roads and bunches of accidents...

oh my gosh here I've been dealing with frost bite and smearing Ed up every evening, now won't that be something if I have to put sun screen on him in the summer. and he may have to have this look

I wouldn't worry too much about Ed..he's got life wired. He looks tough and should be the sire of some great babies, no matter what he covers.

This is what we did with a large dog crate. lined the walls with a pizza box cut in half. Stops the draft and keeps the shavings in. as they got bigger moved the lamp to the top and adjusted the temp with lower wattage light bulbs. When they are big enough to see over the cardboard they don't stick their heads through.

Moved Them :



Rooms @ 74 or so They move around in /out lamp starting to Play with Ball toy, ( Blue ping pong Ball ) chirps like crazy. Lined on 3 sides with Peg Board and Zip tied in place, will Lower as needed, Great for keeping most Shavings in. Front is Portable window screen, Lets me get to dishes.

Thanks Guys

I am very familiar with West Virginia, my mom is from Doddridge county and I have traveled all over the state visiting her family and seeing the sights. Its funny, I don't get sunburned any more, and I am as pale as can be. You learn to stay out of the heat in the middle of the day and work in the morning and the evening.

We had a few flurries but nothing hit the ground, but I am 4 hours from Houston. It's a big state and the weather can be very different from one side of the state to the other.

Every time I see your quote "It's West by God Virginia" I snicker because my my Mom has corrected many people for thinking she is from Virginia.

I'm from Randolph co., just about an hour to Doddridge co and even now, I hear educated people, news anchors and forecasters refer to this state as if it were the western part of Virginia...

By the way, hotrodflash...WV is also a very large state. If the mountains were flattened, this state would be nearly as big as Texas..lolol

Having been here, you know there are folks perched on the sides of mountains, many with 25 foot pilings underpinning the fronts of their homes...

What we so gloriously lack is over population. There are less that 1.8 million folks in the whole state and even our 'cities' are little more than big towns.

Truly...Almost Heaven.
