My Buns are fine :wave:
Their hutch is inside our garage, which also has 2 little heaters which keeps the chill of the buns and aviary birds.
They get let out during the day, but the last couple of days they have decided to stay in the hutch where its warmer. :wave:
We are lucky to have them in the garage, otherwise i think they would become house bunnies in winter :lol:

:lol:, we used to have garden bunnies when we had french lop thumper and mini lop mitzi, but when we got rosie she refused to go in a hutch and then i began having house rabbits and got rid of the hutches

To be honest I'm terrified, the hutches don't have as much insulation as I'd like, i'm gonig to buy some more stuff tomorrow but i'm terrified for my rabbits tonight. I was going to keep them in but I've been threatened with losing the rabbits if I do by my animal-hating Grandmother, but I'm scared i'll lose them if tonight

I must admit I am worried sick about ours. I can't wait for this awful weather to be over. Most of our outside buns are 7 years +

Mine are doing fine. They still refuse to sleep in their bed, prefer to sit on top of it, so the temperature can't bother them too much. They are in a shed with access to a run 24/7, access to the garden whenever I am home. Billy will happily sit outside when it is freezing - crazy boy!
my parents used to be against it back when i got my first rabbit thumper, i fought and fought, then said well rosie is coming indoors and im having her in my bedroom, i got my nan on my side, and ever since then mum and dad see them as housebuns and well trained just like dogs
and also i don't have to keep opening back door making it cold hahaI must admit I am worried sick about ours. I can't wait for this awful weather to be over. Most of our outside buns are 7 years +

I have a combination of shed and hutches. All of them have been stuffed with straw and hay and the hutches have blankets as well as tarps over them etc. The two pairs in hutches also have a snugglsafe each but to be honest my lot dont seem to be bothered! They are having a porridge type mix, a little morning and eve which is a bit of mashed banana with a few more of there usual pellets and a sprinkling of oats with boiled water poured over and then wait til it fluffs up so it looks tons more than it actually is.
They always seem quite chipper!

Polo has been moved into the garage, with lots of hay he is fine, its not cold in there.
Flops and Zeb don't seem bothered by it in their shed, they are normally out in the run when i pop and see them :roll: they are knee deep in hay in the shed, im pretty sure they are ok but doesn't stop me worrying!
