I have a few questions about winter for my two outdoor bun's.
As a new first time owner having only had the boys two weeks i want to get pepared for winter so not rushing around when the cold weather hits.
Whats the best way to keep the hutch and run covered in winter to keep them warm? I currently just use a ground sheet to keep the rain and wind out of the hutch and it covers the top of their run too.
we have this hutch. Not great i know but the best we could afford and will be updated next year. I have my eye on a nice playhouse for them.

The boys do free range in the garden twice a day for a hour in the morning and three - four hours in the evening.
Whats the best bedding for them?
I was looking at getting them some sugglesafe beds. But noticed that Buster loves towels (one fell off my washing line). He digs throws them about and goes mad until he has burrowed his way into it. Would towels be ok for bedding for them? Was thinking of a bath mat over the lino and then towels for them to burrow into.
Sorry about the questions but want to make sure the boys are nice and warm for winter. As we live near Dartmoor it gets very cold here.
Any advice greatfully recieved
