Dear helen
Domestic rabbits that are used to living outdoors do
become pretty hardy to weather conditions. But it is
a good idea to bring them indoors over the winter be
it in a shed or the owners home.
If in a shed, care must be taken to still give the
bunny extra bedding and check water bottles for
freezing during a really cold spell.
If it is in the owners home, care must be taken as to
where its living area is. Becoming too hot can be as
much of a danger to the rabbit as being too cold, so
don't place it near any radiators etc. Bringing a
rabbit indoors who is used to the outdoors is a lot
different from a Bunny who lives in doors all year
round.
Regards the time to bring the Bunny inside. Probably
as soon as any frosts in the area are predicted, or
gales or heavy rain.
