The New Guy has started to spend short periods outside the bathroom, sometimes
really short if he runs into trouble. On the whole, though, I'm amazed. He was sitting next to Badger this morning and suddenly leapt on him and started to bite him on the neck. I don't think he did any harm - Badger froze - and I was right there, so I pried him off within seconds. It wasn't that scary, but enough for him to go directly to lockdown
Just to see him eating twice the amount he got outside before it froze to the bowl, it feels like the right decision to bring him inside sooner rather than later.
