Our cute, gentle stroller has made his big move to his outdoor enclosure today. The little chap burrowed down at five pm after chomping on his Hebe. I thought I'd call this thread Where's Wimble but since he is burrowed so deeply you can't see him, it wouldnt be fair!

It's only about 1.5m x 1.5m but considering he is only 6cm long, it's HUGE for him lol. He is in his log cabin, buried underground for the night. All nice and tucked in

It looks like paradise for a little Wimble. Bless him all tucked up. Brilliant photo of him munching some leaves.

What a great Wimble-home. Will he munch on the plants at all?

That set up is great but I'm wondering (cos I know nothing about that species) how big will he grow or is he one of the tiny variety?

What a great Wimble-home. Will he munch on the plants at all? All the plants are tort safe but he needs (and will favour) a mainly weed diet. He had vetch, sow thistle and mallow today. The munching on the Hebe was just an exploration, once he sees his weeds he is off! Quite quickly too! Funny thought for you to picture, I have now had to buy a little wicker basket for my morning grass and weed collection ritual, I have to collect so much! What with the weeds for Wimble and grasses for DougBo it was getting a bit awkward just holding it all in my hand and picking at the same time

He will get to between 20 and 25 cm depending if he is a Wimble or Wimblette, either way his enclosure will need extending in about two years time. I have already drawn up the plans, costed it and booked a week off work in 2017........

Thank you for the compliments folks, it was a mad dash to get it finished so he could go outside. Turns out I picked the hottest few days of the year to move him, I have been sat outside monitoring temps all day, worrying that it is actually too hot for him!! The buds have had the OH all day to keep them company, he lost his Nanna yesterday and is pretty cut up, so we have taken a few days off to help with arrangements (lovely, lovely lady, 97 and only poorly for a short time, thank the gods). The buds came out earlier this evening for a bit of sunbathing and a good long shower under my super duper £2.99 plant mister. Their outdoor/carry cage is so tiny I worry the neighbours think they live in it all the time They stood still and ruffled, preened and chirruped under the water, it was still nearly 30c in the full sun, crazy temps today

Do the Wimble-weeds have anything in common with the bud-grasses? It would make it a little easier if they shared some tastes.

Oh my gosh - this is incredible! What a lucky little thing Wimble is to have you both as parents and what an amazing home!
