I read about ferals sleeping and eating conditions but still not sure what to do. Winter is coming and I want to start to get a sleeping and eating station ready for my two ferals. I tried to feed them up high but one will jump up and the other one didn't, so I ended up feeding it on the ground. Maybe I didn't give it enough time before I felt bad and put the food down for her. Then this created a problem of raccoon's. Which we will try to eliminate this year, no more feeding after dark. Not sure if I can do that because I feel bad if it is real cold out. Anyhow my question. Should I make two houses, one to eat in and one to sleep in? And I'm not even sure that they will sleep in it. I have there feeding area very close to my house so I can use heated bowls if it is cold. I also had the sleeping in the same place. I know it was matted down but that was because they had to go in there to eat. But a few times when I went to feed they took off out of there, and then I felt bad that they weren't warm. That's why I'm wondering how far away to have the sleeping, but I still think they will run when I come out. I hate to bother them but I have to come out and feed them. Do raccoon's wander around in the winter that I have to worry about them? This is only going to be my second year with the ferals. So from all the trial and error I had the first year I would like to make this perfect for them.
