Is it unusual for a rabbit to deliberately sit outside in the rain getting soaked when there is a perfectly nice, dry hutch for him to sit in instead and should I do something about it? I worry about Gasket's health and there is a cover on part of the run, as well as the hutch he can sit in but he still seems to delight in sitting in the most exposed part of the run getting soaked. :shock:

He is completely nuts!

Mr Pips hates the rain............even if he goes on the wet grass he shakes his paws in disgust. However when it snowed last year i couldnt keep him in. HE is an indoor bunny however has the run of the place and the garden, out thro the cat flap he went into the snow he LOVED it. Digging binkini rolling......was so funny to see - SO work that one out????:roll:

Barney likes the rain and starts having a good old bath in it, Wobbles was the same. I guess if Gasket felt cold he would go inside? Maybe just make sure he doesn't get too wet and that inside is dry and warm for when he does go in again?

Mine are totally unaffected by rain, and are only driven inside by hail or if the rain's really hammering down. Because of Floss's myxi I'm trying to avoid the possibility of her getting chilled, so when the rain started yesterday I put them back in their hutch. Bournville wasn't at all impressed and stared "re-arranging" the contents of the top floor of the hutch in a temper!

Many rabbits will sit out in the rain given the chance. In the wild they also have this option and can come and go as they please.

I guess its Ok then. We normally lock them both away in their hutch from about 11 pm until about 7 am so he always had the chance to dry off. And there is always shelter in the hutch if he wants it during the day too.:roll:

I think I worry more about them sitting in the rain, than they do, it doesnt seem to bother them at all!
