Should I limit time in the snow?

Bunnies are usually out on the garden all day on Saturdays- should I limit their time today because of the snow? They both live outside so are used to the cold but I am worried about them getting cold and damp feet from playing in it!
 
Have they got a shelter in the run? If so, I wouldn't worry, but that's just my opinion ;)

I mean free ranging. They have got wendy houses with attached covered runs and the door is left open so they can go back in if they want. I just didnt know if they should be allowed to free range all day as the snow is all over the garden.
 
I think as long as you dry them off it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Im not sure if i would have them on the snow the whole day - just because of the cold and damp (if it were just cold i would keep them out all day). I think you know them best and if they seem fine then there isn't a problem! I'd just keep a few towels handy for drying them off :)
 
Thanks. They both chose to go back in after a run round anyway! Strawbs was not impressed by the snow at all!
 
Spenser eventually retired to his hutch, where he is now fur-puddled in the sun. :love: Judging by the binkies he liked the snow! :)
