Well I might be getting two Rex Rabbits (I believe they're minis, but I'm not sure) from my cousin. I'd like to know if the setup they currently use for their rabbits would work so we can just duplicate it. Currently, they have a decently large area of their shed (maybe 5 feet by 4 feet?) that is fenced in with wire and wood. The floor is just cement. I've heard Rexes get sore hocks easily, is that true? And any recommendations of preventing this? They have their hutches open during the day with mini staircases leading up to them for easy access. Should I let the rabbits stay out of their hutches all the time, even at night, or should they be put away at night? And it's currently very cold here. I'm a little worried about them being in the garage, it'll be warmer than the outside, but we can't have a heater going all night. Any recommendations to make it warmer for them? And should I put bedding in their hutches, or does it matter? They'd be in a garage. Every once and awhile (not at all often) a car would drive up. I've heard rabbits get scared to heartattacks easily. Would an occasional car?
Thanks for any help! I've never owned any sort of rodent, so I'd really like to get as much information as I can before I get one. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated!
