aww bless!
I had my guys out yesterday and they had a lovely day, trundling around foraging for weeds. Shame it's pouring with rain today though

I spent ages trying to find them then!! If that is grass that you want then to eat I would cut it! If it is just for them to hide in ignore me

My Leo's have been out a couple of times now, they are so happy when it is warm enough to go stomping around the garden!

I always put the thermometer out first and am out there every 5 mins til it is warm enough - then out they go and then i'm out there every 5 mins checking the temp. I never settle when they are out !!!!!

Today at least they had a bit of a walk round before they all disappered under the hedge !!

How many have your got Shelley?

I have three Leo's, Clanger, Fraggle and Doozer!

Clanger spends most of the time wandering when he (or she) is out, Doozer just eats, and Fraggle tends to find somewhere to sleep!

I worry about mine when they are out as well if it isn't hot, though mine have a sun tunnel.... But only Clanger goes into it!

I don't bother with a thermometer any more, though I used to always be checking it. I think if I feel warm outside then the Leo's are ok

Leopards are notorious for not seeking out artificial heat. You have to watch them and make sure they can or do get to a heat source.
