camping temperatures

[Tigerlily]

hi

 

me and tigerlily are going camping again on saturday

 

the only down side of this is that she spends a lot of time in her cage, but gets more attention and much needed sunshine and fresh air

 

last year i took her smaller cage and she slept with me in the smaller sleeping compartment of the tent with her cage covered.

 

this year though i'm thinking about taking her normal cage with us so i wont feel so bad about the length of time she spends in it.

but if i do she will have to sleep in the main area of the tent where i imagine it gets colder at night although she will still be covered.

 

my question is this, the night temperature will fall down to about 16 degrees centigrade, is that going to be too cold for her?

 

thanks

That's about 60 degrees fahrenheit and you can get away with that but make sure the cage is completely covered at night with a thick item such as a blanket to prevent cold gusts from hitting her.

thanks dave, her cover is one i made, the material is quite heavy and goes down at least half way.

so with that and her being inside the tent, i have no concerns about the wind getting her.

but good to know the temperature is ok.

 

i am sooooo excited about being able to take her big cage

That will be quite an adventure for Tigerlily and even though she may have to spend a lot of time in her cage being outside she will be with you so it should be quite enjoyable for her, maybe get a couple of pics of her to share with us when you get back, hint, hint.
