It's freezing out there!..hope your rabbit isn't? ..some tips

Post by sdf76 »

It is freezing outside- please make sure your rabbit is warm enough if outside in a hutch, especially if it is a lone rabbit.

use thick clean whole newspapers on the hutch floor topped with hay or straw. and protect from draughts. ( If you don't have any old newspapers ask your neighbours if you can have theirs - will save them recycling them too)

Make sure the water in the rabbits water bottle is checked before you go to bed ( the coldest temperatures are usually at night) . wrap a thick sock or old towel round it to try to stop it freezing up,

add a few carrot pieces or extra leafy greens as these will provide a little moisture even if they do freeze.

Add an old duvet or old blankets to the roof and back of the hutch.

I've got the microwave heat pads which go on in colder nights

Our hutches are in a hut which has insulated material on roof and upper walls. Old curtains which go over the hutches x
