Outdoor Temps

Brought Cookie and Bella in for the winter cus I missed em both sooo much being outside. Looks like Spring is on the way and am just wondering at what sort of temps can I safely return them outside to their 4 hutches with attached run on the patio. They are always as snug as a bug as I cover their sleep area with a very thick velvet curtain and they always have binloads of hay.

Phoning the vet next week to book them in for their myxi then VHD 2 weeks after. Won't be putting them on the lawn til they have had their jabs and will also start weaning them onto fresh grass as from tomorrow

Personally, I'd wait until at least mid-April when the risk of frost has passed and night time temperatures are well above freezing. Mine are currently starting their spring moult and I know that goes on FOREVER. They'll probably have their full summer coat by mid-April so that's what I go on (as well as looking outside to see what the weather's actually doing).
 
Strawberry will be going out at the end of April. We have started leaving his bedroom window open to get him used to the colder temperatures.
 
they certainly are boootiful, the little lovebirds, they love each other and the cat more than me:D

Vinnie loves someone with a bit of banana more than ANYONE...for five minutes ;) Which one is which? Is one missing an ear or is it just folded back?
