: this is a 2' x 2 ' house with a shingled roof that is hinged and
: lifts open from the front & ramp

: I wanted something that was up off the ground.

Has he been out in a storm yet? Does he know to get in the house? Virgil was out for one heavy rain and I called my mom to go get him and take him inside. He wasn't in his shelter, but tucked up in his shell and just sitting there. Hard to tell whether he was enjoying it or just didn't know better. I tend to lean toward the latter. Also, has he fallen off the sides of the ramp? I'd worry about that with Virgil. The few times he's gotten flipped over I've watched him struggle for quite a while hoping he would eventually right himself, but have caved and helped him every time. Does Ted flip and is he able to right himself? The house looks great.
