said neddy been living out, doing very well but this recent wet / windy spell is really bad, fields under water, very muddy not sure what to do, bought him in this morning was as warm as toast, he stays in in the day usually and goes back out at about 3pm.......the question is do i grin and bear the weather and put him back out or turn him around so he is stabled at night. has lived out since last march and been happy........HELP can't decide x

If he is holding his weight and happy then I'd leave him out.
My two are staying out, with a feed and hay in the field to supplement their grass intake.

he's as fat as butter! and very happy, i guess its just me really, tucked up in my centally heated house in my duvet! just feel for them being out in all the rain. i'm guessing all they do at night in the rain is stand up by a hedge......

 

[meandmyself]

I agree with Boss- I'd leave him out if he's happy and holding his weight.

 

[nickyb]

thank you.

Mine's out with a bit of hay... although there's plenty of grass it supplements his diet.... happy as a pig in poo

Ours are in a similar routine but go out at 1. We're keeping them like this, they seem perfectly happy.
