angeluk69 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi all, I went and picked up my girls today from Mini Meadows Farm in Welford. I am so pleased and even had a little chuckle when Hilda (Coral) mangaed to wriggle out of the box and into the garden...luckily my Basset Hound wasn't out or we could have had real problems I shut them in the house for a couple of hours as instructed and then opened the pop hole and waited...and waited. Hilda and Dora (Pied Ranger) came out first and had a good look around and kept going back and forth as if to say to the other two 'its ok' Nora (Speckledy) and Margaret (Columbine) have been out and theyve been quite happy, even the dog keeps going out to check on them. These are the only pics Ive been able to get as they seem to be a camera shy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeluk69 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ok, first silly question... Do i need to remove the food and water at night? Im just worried in case it rains. I'm already turning into a neurotic mother hen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead68 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If you think the food will get wet I would bring it in. Congratulations on your new arrivals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjam Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 ... and takeing the food in at night also may reduce the risk of rat problems. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You're going to have loads of fun watching them. My Coral from Minimeadows is an escape artist as well and mad as a box of frogs even after a year. Hello Tim welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 in the next ferw days, when they have a bit more confidence, you'll have to post some photos of them in the garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Looking good so far, more pics soon..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeluk69 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I daren't let them out into the garden, as we found out they can fit through the fencing and might get into the field at the back I'm going to go out and try to hold one in a bit as they seem a bit more settled, I'll try and get some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
