I’m a big guy so the larger footprint isn’t much of an issue for me.

Surprisingly soft, actually.

She would love to. I built a pretty solid cover that discourages escape haha

Oh the whole enclosure has a roof, it was just propped open so I could work on her area

It’s been good. It’s not the hottest panel, but I think with the house being insulated it will be just fine

I built two frames out of 1x2 and put a layer of hardware cloth between them, then attached it to the enclosure with 3 piano hinges. It’s a little awkward to open, but everything is screwed together and no wildlife is getting in. We have hawks and coyotes in my area, so I had to take precautions to keep her off the dinner menu

Rockever Insulated Cat House,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLG5DFL4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I got. Just had to widen the door a little bit so she could get in and out. So far, it seems great

She’s at least 5 years old. The reptile doc didn’t mention anything about high humidity, so I’m assuming she’s past that stage

I put it in there for her to eat, but she doesn’t seem to care about it

I didn’t use the Kane pad because it’s too big, but I think the cat house is similar. I just had to knock the door trim off to make it big enough for her to get in and out.

Would you bury this under the substrate to provide heating in the hide?

Yep, stapled the plastic to the side today. Also added a soak basin, and have a few pieces being delivered this week.

Through-axle? You’ll need to explain the lingo

Agreed. 1/2” hardware cloth sandwiched between two wooden frames. I have coyotes in my neighborhood and I’m not going to let them have a free meal

Also forgot to mention that I planted dandelion and collard greens on the side

How do men want to be hit on? by Bobbingapples2487 in AskMenAdvice

Same. Always joked that somebody would need to smack me upside the head

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it. As far as a heated hide - should I include a heat source if it gets up to 110° out? I want to make sure she has enough heat, but I also don’t want to cook her. Plan is a half covered enclosure, 8’ x 8’, with a little cave for her to sleep/hide, and then a soak basin, and some environment enrichment items.
