I keep all three of my rabbits outdoors on a porch. Summer's coming to an end, and I'm planning on keeping them out all fall.
I would like some advice on wintertime though. They only have a cage with blankets over it, not a hutch. Should I leave them outside? I'm afraid they might not survive the winter...it gets very cold here sometimes down to -5 at the worst points. Their water bottles would also freeze and to unthaw them would take hours.
I'm thinking it's better for them to come inside once the cold weather hits. All of them are house-trained but I just need to work on the bonding.
Any advice or information on what kind of weather rabbits can handle?
