chickenanne Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 So long as the house is completely dry i wouldn't worry. I generally clean my run out much more often if the weather is bad, to get rid of the worst of the wet and replace with fresh hemcore /whatever. A bit of rain on the run will only be an issue if the inside of the house is damp and the ventilation is poor (within reason - obviously if the entire run is several inches of liquidy mud would be a problem!).

chickenanne Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Why do they play in the rain? erm... because they're stupid...! They don't realise in advance that they will get wet and cold.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
