He'll be fine..he's got a nice fur coat on:lol: He needs to be building up his winter coat in preparation for winter if he's an outdoor bun.
 
Indeed. Rabbits are outdoor animals and will cope with the cold, so don't worry too much. If it was a very extended period of time and the temperature was near freezing then possible you would have a problem.

Both mine were running about in the rain this afternoon, dispite having a large cosy hutch to shelter in. It just depends on the rabbit.
 
I think they prefer the cold to heat of summer. Tia sits outside even in the rain, refusing to come in. I just watch out if it's windy and avoid drafts.
