This is the first winter my babies are spending outside. I checked on them last week and they were dug in and seemed OK. So far, our lowest temps. have been an occas. dip to the mid-30's . However, we are expecting a freeze to hit in a few days that is supposed to include temps. in the teens to low 20's with freezing precipitation.

They are in their outdoor habitat. A few of them chose an enclosed and covered spot to bury in, but others are in an area that isn't covered.

Just a worried Mom here, but do I need to be concerned? Is there anything I should do like add another layer of leaves or something?
