Hi, I'm just curious if there's a way to tell if my bunnies are warm enough at night.
When I stroke them first thing in the morning when they come to greet me, their fur on their back is cool to the touch. I know we all drop our body heat a little bit at night but I don't like the thought of them actually being cold. Their bed chamber has newspaper on the bottom, with a 2cm (roughly) layer of wood shavings, followed by about 4-6cm fluffed up straw. (it looks lovely when freshly made - could crawl in there myself :lol When I "make" their bed in the morning, they've moved all the straw in the night and end up lying on the newspaper with the straw around them. I know this is normal, but are they cold? Their hutch is in a shed (ensuring it's fox proof and to help keep them warm in the winter). I've seen them in bed when they've been too lazy to move :lol: and they snuggle together but is this enough?
Thanks.
