Young Bun
Is vet bed safe for buns?? I know it is safe for guinea pigs though! Has anyone used it?? And if so is it any good?
Thanks Jen xxx :wave:

Yes I was wondering if a piece in their bedroom in the shed with a snugglesafe would be better than stuff it with straw?
Any thoughts?
I don't think so. Vet bed is lovely and warm, but it will only keep the parts of the bun in contact with it warm. It would be a bit like you having the option of sleeping on a lovely plush carpet, or completely wrapped up in a duvet. When it's cold, you'd want the duvet! If you've got a part of the hutch or a box in it stuffed with straw and hay, bunnies can snuggle down right into it, air will get trapped in the straw and it will stay warm all around them rather than just underneath like it would with vetbed. There's no reason why you couldn't use it in one area, but outdoor bunnies still need somewhere they can get right inside to keep warm.
