Hi Chuck, I like it! I think you would want to have access to the hibernaculum. What about putting it in a mound build above ground level. You might be able to design some rear access filled with insulation and only slightly covered by natural cover? Also it you used two inch styrofoam sheet as insulation, maybe it would not have to be that deep? Don't give up on the electrons yet....what about a camera in there with them. I got one of the underwater cameras mentioned on another forum and that would be great!! The exterior fencing would probably be a good liability protector. Checking with Bill Haas would be a good idea on the feeding, but I hope he won't suggest tube feeding them (LOL). I might also think about some "lip" at the top of the enclosue. Let us know when its done, I want to come see it.
