i_want_the_good_life Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm picking the new members of the family up in two sleeps time!!! CAn anyone help me and give a definitive answer as to how long they should be shut in eglu and run beofr i can let them run free! They have come from the same breeder and have lived together with dozens others for the past 18 weeks. Somewhere i think i've read 2 days. Somewhere else i read 5 days. Many thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The info from Omlet says 5 days, which is how long I left it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I agree Omlet recommends 5 days and I did this and had no problems with them finding their home again Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy36 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 i only kept mine in for 2 days - on the third day i let them out for an hour - if you do this before dusk, they will put themselves to bed. I would not try putting them in yourself - for both your sakes!! I then built up over the week until they were out most of the day. They need long enough to know where home is... i suppose your garden size could affect this! Good luck - they are garden wreckers, but they love it so much you will just let them!
