We have decided on keeping our rabbit Chai, in a hutch outside.
It's just a bit much keeping all of our critters in our house at the moment. We're building a large hutch, with a screen on the front. She'll have chews, a litter box, and a box to sleep in. She'll still be getting all her daily attention and cuddles, and when winter comes along, we'll either bring her in the house again, or get some sort of heating for her hutch.
Does that sound alright for her? What has your experience be in keeping a pet rabbit in a hutch? I read something about rabbits living shorter lives when kept outside. Is that true? I can't really see how it would be if they're cared for well.
Thanks for your help!
