IS THAT IN YOURHOUSE!

Can i stay too?! ill stay in the shavings!

What an awesome setup! how thin is the line between amazing pet owner and nutty home owner haha!

And their adorable! i bet its a blast there all the time

Lol...you are too funny!!! It’s an amazingly thin line I cross often!!
That’s our attached garage. Our house is so small that I use the garage as an extension of our home for when we have company over but, however it has become my clinical room for when I have injured ducks. These 2 were housed for a month and a half in the garage because miss turbo (the one nesting) had an infection in her ankle and Miss Hope got her eye poked at while mr Ted was mounting her! This polar vortex that came through a couple weeks ago, I brought all 5 in the garage!! And honestly I did and do love it when they stay in the garage, I open the door with coffee in hand and they always have something to say

They have regular water bowls, which they swim in, then they have a decent sized kiddie pool they can be in without their webs touching the bottom.

I keep the pools available until it's so cold that they freeze solid overnight and/or get stuck in the snow.
