i've got 3, but one's a rooster. they are silver spagled hamburgs. they are a bit flighty but thats quite good, means the dog doesn't pester them too much. no photos yet i'm sorry. yeah i thought that they were a bit expensive compared to some wooden ones but at least i don't think i'll have to get another one any time soon, and i really really hate painting!
the run seems fine to me but i do let them out quite alot as i'm around alot of the day, when i'm not the dog seems to do quite a good job of looking out for the fox. they did encourage me to let them out whenever i could. i was impressed with how strong the run seems, some others are quite flimsy.
that's quite a good idea about the paper and straw, i was finding that the straw was a bit messy and that the shavings worked better but i'll ry that. thanks.
