Advice Needed please!

Hi

I have 5 rabbits whose cages are outside in my shed and I have my little netherland dwarf inthe house along with two guinea pigs (seperate cages of course). I would like to introduce my indoor pets out to the shed with the others but its still pretty cold outside can I ask when would be the best time to aclimatize them to being outside again in the hut??? Mynnetherland was wintered inside because shemhad rabbit syphallis which has left her with breathing problems. She is fine but she makes funny noises when she breathes.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

I would normally say treat them like bedding plants: gradually harden them off by putting them outside on warm afternoons in a sheltered run or in the shed and increase the outside time until they can be left out after the chance of frosts has passed (end of May). Be particularly careful with your nethie that her problems don't worsen.
You need to be wary of rabbits and guinea pigs together though because they can pass diseases on to each other

Thanks for the advice, I will do that. I have the two guineas together but separate from my nethie

Yes just monitor the temperatures outdoors and make sure you keep them in if we get another cold snap :?

Yes I will, there is a saying here, "Never cast a cloot till May is oot" how true lol!:wave:
