I've read a lot about the change between inside and outside temperature being bad for buns, but now am unsure if we should take Peter in at all to play.
This is his first winter. He is in a large run all day with small hutch attached. He normally comes into a cool room in the house for a few hours a night for some attention and company. Then it's into his hutch, which, I have to say, is now looking pretty cosy, lined with cardboard inside, lots of hay and paper, and carpet, blankets and tarpaulin pegged down on the outside.
I think we all feel a bit guilty if he's going to get no company for the next three-four months. Neither the run or the hutch are big enough for us to be in it with him.
What about turning off the central heating and opening the window in the cool room?
I know the answer is another bun and I'm phoning our local RSPCA re this tomorrow.........any suggestions/advice appreciated.
