Should they be of a certain age/size before taking outside for a short periods for fun? Supervised, of course.
Our babies have been out in the San Diego sun since they were
Babies! and they enjoy it so much! Like Steve said, make sure you have shade. They usually like basking on the rocks we set up in the kiddie pool and then jump back in water and go under the shade. (as shade, we use the trees; so part of the pool in sun, part in shade). Oh! And they LOOOOVE to poo
in when they're out in the sun.
