Hi

Its finally stopped raining here and has brightened up. Can I let my bun out to free range on the grass which is wet for about 30 mins to stretch his legs?

I will obviously dry my bun off before he goes back in his house.

Just wondered if this was really bad in case he got a chill or its ok and I am just being paranoid?

Thanks
Kim

As long as he's already used to grass etc, it won't hurt at all.

Alfie and Bubbles have just been out for a run about on the wet grass and, apart from wet tootsies and tummies, are fine.... and I didn't bother to dry them off either.

If they get soaked in a downpour I'll towel dry them, otherwise I let them dry off naturally once they get back into their dry run.

Thanks Karen.

Your rabbits are gorgeous. I have an Alfie too, he the opposite to yours as he is all white with black markings.

I chickened out of putting Alfie on the grass today. I will see if its dry tomorrow and let him have a go.

If he is an outside bunny and healthy then he should be fine. My lot sit out in the rain :roll:

My lot have all been in the garden late this afternoon after heavy rain for a few days.

They soon dry off once they're back in their sheds and they'll spend ages grooming themselves clean afterwards.

Fingers crossed we get a dry spell tomorrow then as I am sure he'll love to tear around the garden. :roll:

Mine were in the house for a bit this afternoon then soon as I saw the rain stopped I was out like a shot cleaning the hutch with them running all over the garden.

No problems at all, they quite often sit out in the run when its raining no common sense mine.
