Wintertime For Outdoor
rabbits?
A friend of mine was given 2 baby rabbits at Easter this year, she loves them very much.From Easter to now they have lived in a spacious 2 compartment hutch .They have played outside their hutch for the most of their days.Even now they will play outside when the weather is fine but cold.
She is worried that as the weather become more wintery is there anything else she can do to keep them warm and safe.The hutch is waterproof and has a drop down cover over the front to keep out driving rain and falling snow.Their sleeping section has plenty of hay inside for them to cover themselves in if they wish.The living and food/water section has also hay on the floor.She tends them every day without fail.Any advice would be helpful and gratefully received. Sincerely Brenda.

I leave ours outside but make sure that they have plenty of extra straw and that I defrost their water bottles every day.

As everybody says above. Extra hay in the winter and there are two of them so they will snuggle up and keep each other warm. My two always had access to the outside (unless it was pouring down) and when they had had enough they just hopped back into their large hutch. Reading this makes me wish I had rabbits again, I love them.
I know people that bring them into the shed or garage during the winter and give them heat pads.

rabbits dig underground naturally for warmth as its too cold above. Lamps will keep them warm in winter
