I don't like turning mine out at night (after dark) either. I try to get them in at sunset with some treats or pellets and then close up about 1.5 acres for them connected to the barn (which is always open for them to go in and out of.). I worry about accidents or just animals wandering like coyotes and bob cat, wild dogs, not that the coyote or bobcat would actually attack but they could scare them into a fence, bad enough, but the wild packs of dogs are nutso. I think they are missing brain cells.
