How are you keeping your bunnies warm... its sooooo cold !!! :shock::cry:

I have topped up the hay, stuffed hay around the water bowl and topped it up with boiling water - I have an old quilt I could take out for them but am worried they may shred it and eat the filling?

Edit - I also put a load of cardboard in the main covered run.

It's vile isn't it?
My two were absolutely freeing to the touch when I took their dinner and snugglesafe out and the tarpaulin was stiff with frost.

I really hope they are going to be OK, I've never felt this uneasy about them being outside before. :?
 
I am really worried about them to they are covered with nets & tarpaulin as usual and we have put duvets over the top as well and added loads of hay, not sure what else to do :?
 
I wouldn't theory too much. As long as they are out of the wind, have hay to snuggle in and each other to cuddle up to. I'm popping a snugglesafe in with the outside bunnies tonight, and I top up their water with boiling water which they love and should keep their little tummies warm!

:oops: Fank you :D:D:love::love: Hopes I'm not being a mug again .....:roll::roll:

My hands are FROZEN !!! Just made a 2 fab bunny dens :D:D Bungle and Nush have an old TV cabinet in the main run, its up against the kennel bit - it already had a blanket on the second shelf so I have covered the whole thing in a duvet and added a cushion to the bottom shelf making a big duvet tent !!! They LOVE it !! They are exploring now and Bungle is buzzing like crazy :lol::lol::lol: I have also filled the kennel to over 4ft high with hay !! :lol::lol::lol: Feel a bit better now :D ..... apart from not being able to feel my fingers :lol:
 
I'm just giving them extra hay to snuggle into... and changing the water as often as I can. Them not having access to water is my main concern. I put fresh water out for them this morning, but it was -7°C when I left for work and wouldn't have taken long to freeze. Put fresh in when I got home and they were eager for it. :(

I have packed hay around my water bowl and it does seem to help a little - plus putting some boiling water in to make it lukewarm seems to help.
