    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

When to put outside

I cant decide if this is the right place to post so please move if it isnt.

I have decided to put my two male rabbits outside in seperate hutches. I want the best for them and with one being inside since 4 wks old he is now 15wks will the weather be to much for him to cope with. Biscuit the older one i am sure will be ok. Am i doing the right thing or should i wait a bit longer. All my other rabbits are girls and i want to keep them seperate cages inside till i can get the best possible outdoor cages for them.

he should be fine. just try and gradually intorduce him to it and use a snuggle safe if yo uthink its particularly cold lots of hay in the hutch to insulate it and plenty of covers at night if used to heating. x
 
Thanks for that. I know i wasnt quiet sure about it and i no i have asked before but now that i need to put outside i thought i would ask again jsut to be on the safe side
