There are no stupid questions.
Most people let indoor rabbits out in good weather/summer. But in the winter they will live in a rabbit proofed room or have run of the house. My sister has her rabbits living in her room and they have the run of the landing stairs and hall for exercise each day.
this might be really naive of me......before getting my Rudie bunny I done a lot of re-search and didn't come across anything about climate. Rudie lives outside in a good sized hutch but comes in morning and evening. Does this mean that this is actually bad for him......coming in from the cold, getting warm, only to go back out? We do have a heater in the hutch but now I feel bad :shock:
Normally this is bad, but maybe since you have a heater in the hutch he's being kept at relatively the same temperature? I'm not sure.
I wouldn't change it now since that could be a shock and his coat probably isn't thick enough to keep him warm.
Where I live it's kinda the opposite, rabbits have to be brought indoors on cold nights or a heater be put in their hutch because they never grow a thick coat and are used to warm weather. We had done this my whole life and never had problems, but then I joined this forum and read that that was bad so I kept Raven outside with no heater on a really cold night and he died a couple weeks later I don't know how I could have been so stupid, it never occurred to me that there could be a climate difference. So I always try to mention this on threads like this so that any guests/members that are reading it and live in the subtropics aren't misinformed.
Hi sorry just wanted to ask a similar question. My 2 buns are house bunnies and I don't have a garden. My mum lives literally 2 minutes walk round the corner and has a walled garden, they have a dog and my cat living there but they could be shut in while the bunnies are there. I was thinking about taking them round when the weather gets nice (if it ever gets nice!) for an hour on a Sunday or something lilke that, but do you think it would be more stressful than enjoyable for them?
