I keep all mine under cover during winter and have not lost one yet. They sit on the ground and have protection from two sides only. The carport got taken over by my plants lol

-3C was our lowest last winter and we had this a couple of times.

Books etc tell you different temps that are usually higher than we would like. I think they learn to adjust to our colder temps.

Make sure you keep an eye on him Smile probably would be a good idea to do it gradually if it hasn't been out before
