Hi there,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma...
My young bun Jeff is due for neutering on 9th Dec. He's an outdoor bun and if possible I'd like to keep him outdoors over the winter as he has more space to run around than if we brought him inside. Conversely he'd have more company if he was inside - the kids aren't too enthusiastic about going out to play with him in this weather.
He's currently on his own - waiting to bond him with a lady bun after neutering.
So....he'll need to be inside after the op, and we have an indoor cage and a room we can turn the heating off in, but even so it'll be a good 10 degrees or more warmer than outside. He has a lovely winter coat....do you think he'll suffer being indoors? And will it be too much of a shock putting him back outside in these temperatures?
Perhaps I should describe his hutch outside: Sleeping area has cardboard/newspaper base with a layer of straw and stacks of hay and we put a snugglesafe in too. The hutch has two layers of silver bubblewrap, and a water proof cover which comes right down the front, with a plastic sheet which covers the hutch and run.
Pretty snug really.
So...what do you think?
Will a couple of days indoors be ok?
Thanks!
