Central heating

My single bunnies Libby and Fiver regularly come into the house for a run and extra cuddles :love:. Tonight, when I went to put Fiver back in his hutch, I noticed the temperature difference due to the heating. Will it be detrimental to their health to go from outside to inside to outside during the next few months? Libby is approximately 6, Fiver is 1, and both are in great health. Thanks :wave:
 
Hi there. I don't personally do it, I've heard that coping with significant temperature difference can be difficult for bunnies. Not sure what others will say though!

So I shouldn't be bringing my litlluns into the house on a night afterwork??? This is the only time we get to spend with them, as my other half put it last night, I don't want them falling out with us because we don't bring them in to play anymore now we've given them their run.
 
The problem is, when they have to go back to the outside, the colder temp. is hard for them to get used to.

They have no problem coming in from a colder temp. outside.
 
The sudden change in temp is bad for buns. Is there anyway you could bring the indoors for the Winter months then put them back out in Spring. Thats what we used to do when I was a child, though all my buns are now indoors all the time. Just think of all thsoe wondrful bonding moments you could share. :D
 
Aye that makes sense, but I Don't have room to bring their house indoors and my rubbish Landlady won't allow them to live in the house :(
