Your fine. When daytime temps start getting into the 60's, then bring them in. Mine stay outdoors when night time temps get into the 40's. The ambient temps in the hide boxes stay in the mid to upper 70's at night and 90's during the day in winter. Get a probe and see how warm your hide boxes are inside. One hour of natural sun = 5 days of UV light.
