If your in a high and dry area then outside will work for most of the year. You can shield from rain so the ground doesnt get to wet. Build the ground up and use gravel under the fill like a French drain to channel the water away. If you live near Oakeefanokee (sp?)then,nope! Mixing animals from different parts of the World used to be taboo to me to until I saw pictures of the earth from outer space and then realised,they are already mixed together in one place. I built my outside enclosure attached to my house. It was an L shape already so I only had two sides and a top to go. I installed big floor to cieling windows for viewing, and could open them for feeding and taking pictures. The live tree inside formed a huge canapi over it for shade. It was a lot of fun. I havent built one YET at my new place but made up for it in other ways. VM
