I've defrosted Misty and Muffin's water bottles 3 times today. It's well below freezing here.
Both bunnies live in hutches (not bonded yet so they are separate) in the garden. I really need some advice for keeping them warm.
So far they are getting fed extra pellets and hay because keeping warm will be using up more energy. And they have a towel covering a thick layer of hay in their sleeping sections of their hutches. Then they can sit on it or snuggle under it.
I'm going to get something to cover the hutches first thing in the morning. What works best to keep them warm and insulated? And I'm guessing I should get them a snugglesafe each?
Is there anything I can do to stop their water freezing? Do those bottle insulators work?
Will they be ok in hutches outside when it's this cold? We can't bring them indoors and the garage has no windows so they'd be in the dark. I'm really worried about them!
