Eyren Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think they'll be fine - if the snow is too horrid, they won't want to come out anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol U Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would just leave the door open and give them the choice. Mine prefer to be out no matter what the weather. Others prefer to stay in the warm - bit like people really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Mine are out in the snow at the mo. They were a bit bewildered at first, but they have cleared a couple of areas on the ground and are sunbathing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 They'll decide if they want to be out in it or not. It was snowing a bit this morning & my 3 didn't seem to notice! As long as they've got a sheltered run to get out of it they'll be fine. They're funny in deep snow - lifting their legs really high and then standing on one leg as though they're trying to keep the other one warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicklit Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 We had a bit of a freak snow storm her yesterday afternoon when it changed from sunny to snowing in a matter of minutes. My girls were free ranging and as it was their first snow experience I dashed outside to see what they were doing. I found them sheltering in a corner under the lilac tree and when I called them they looked at me with a very puzzled look on their face as if asking"what's going on". The followed me into the kitchen and sat in the doorway watching the snow coming down until it slowed down and then they ventured back outside. I don't think they really minded the snow, it just took them by surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
