beach chick Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I honestly think they're mad. its blazing hot here, full on sunshine. we have a 12' square walk-in run with green onduline roof - so very shadey, airflow all round. we have a 12sq m leccy fence, which includes one big tree and a parasol for shade. at least one third of this area is shaded by trees further away. so where are 2 of the 4 the ex-batts?? having a sauna - inside their temporary run, half of which is covered in tarps/sunshade it must be boiling in there! still, at least they're not getting sunburnt I suppose... they're quite happy, not hiding or anything.

jimnpaula Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I noticed today that my ex batts are the only ones not lifting their wings or panting, or at least they're doing it a lot less than the others. I can only think that they're more tolerant of the heat, having become accustomed to it 'inside'. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migsy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 and perhaps a lack of feathers! My ex bats are loving the weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 its interesting though, I had to pick 2 of mine up off the grass just a few mins ago to put them into the WIR so I can be sure they are safe (fox around); and their bodies were SO hot, even at almost 9pm. I know when they are all snuggled up indoors together they can work up a real heat, but these little bald bodies, out in the dark... if I'd had infrared they'd have been glowing!!
