Extreme weather

My Teenie family ( the four flyers) are not used to cage life; they are fulltime , freestyle out on the squirrel porch. Today /tonight it’s supposed to be brutal . They are predicting power outages . They have a warm nest and I have all the drop cloths down. But should I bring them in anyhow? Is it worse for a wild to jump from teens outside to 70 inside? I have a heat lamp out there as well, but it’s not guaranteed to last. This is miserable for MS:(

I’m not sure which is worse....staying out in the cold or adjusting to indoor temps? What I have observed with my wilds is that when they feel it’s too cold or windy out, they stay in their nest boxes or dreys. I would think that flyers would do the same. Do they have fleece or wool scraps in their boxes or cubes? Do they sleep together? I think the combined warmth of all of them would be enough to keep them warm, but I’m certainly no expert on cold since I live in Florida. :shakehead:shakehead

They do , all four or at least used to. I’m going out now to check.
And yes it’s an old winter coat with a rain coat wrapping it, an the inside stuffed with poly fill and fleece pieces.. and stuff they gather.
