We are moving house hopefully November time. Currently Liquorice is an indoor bun - when the weather is fine and dry he spends all day outside in his run while we are at work. He then comes in and out house when he pleases and sleeps in his hutch in the kitchen on a night time.
We were hoping to get him a friend but unfortunately there isnt enough room in the new house for two hutches (or one very large one)...
so we are going to buy this

and have it outside with a run attached. Great BUT...
I cant bare the thought of him outside in the freezing winter months when he isnt used to the cold weather. He's only 5 months old and hasnt experienced winter. I have visions of waking up one cold morning and finsing him frozen!!!
So, what i was thinking was:
Not getting new bunny until weather get warmer around March, April time so then Liquorice could have his hutch in the house where he would sleep and use the playhouse as his daily place when we are at work. Then he could get used to weather but not be out there when the temp really drops during night...
Am i being to fussy???? Or is this a good idea???
