dawgcr,
Thanks for your advice.
He's been outside lately for most of the day. If i'm out he's roaming the yards. If not, I've had him in this plastic tub that is very long so he had a lot of room to roam around. Its predator safe and has hides etc.
thans for the heads up. And as soon as possible im planning on building a permanent home for him outside.

and to everyone else, thanks for the words. Ill post a pic of him soon.

surfsUP!
