I'm posting about my new bun Thumper. We got him on Sunday. He was from our local rescue where he lived in quite a small hutch. We have brought him home and put him in hutch/run combo where the hutch is 3ft x 1ft and the run part is 5ft x 3ft.
He weighs 1.5kg so is not a huge bunny.
The problem is he seems to spend all his time out in the run. We have never shut our bunny's in at night, they have always had 24/7 access to their runs and he just seems to want to stay in the run.
He goes in the hutch to eat and he does all his poos and wees in there, but he just seems to like to sit in the run.
I'm a bit worried about him as he feels cold to the touch - although he is very lively and does lots of binky's in the run (he was binkying on the first day!)
What would you all recommend. Am I worrying over nothing or should I somehow be shutting him in the hutch bit at night to ensure that he stays warm?
I appreciate that he would benefit from a bigger hutch and I will be investing in a happy hutch 6ft x 2ft hutch with 6ft x 4ft run but this probably won't be for a month or so yet (hubbies head gasket on his mgtf went the day after we brought him home - estimated repairs at £1500 at the minutes - eek!!).
Anyway, as always, your advice would be much appreciated.
