Long story short I will be getting two buns from my neighbor to avoid them being set loose or some other bad fate.
All I know about the buns right now is that they are a little over a year old at least. If nothing has changed since they first got them then they are kept together outside. I'm assuming they get along and since nothing was mentioned about babies that they are the same sex.
I do not know yet whether I will be keeping them permanently or if I will be finding homes for them. I cannot spend a bunch of money right now. I need housing quickly so there is no time to build a hutch.
I have what is basically a home made cage. It has a wooden frame covered in 1/4 inch fencing. It is I believe 4 ft X 4 ft and 3 ft high. It has legs but they are only about four inches high.
I was thinking I could keep them in this at least temporarily. Now the problem is I have never had an outdoor bun. It is hot here. Today is 92. Also, I know they should have some sort of shelter in the cage so they can get out of the rain and such.
I know I could temporarily put in a card board box but we are supposed to have storms tomorrow and some could be severe so cardboard wouldn't last long in the rain plus I'm not sure how well it would work with strong winds.
If the kittens weren't in Thumper's old cage I could use that at least maybe for during the heat of the day or during storms so they could be brought in.
I guess I'm looking for any and all suggestions including ways to keep them cool although they apparently have survived this heat last year and so far this. Some sort of shelter that could be placed inside the cage. And anything I may need to know that would be different between and indoor bun and an outdoor.
