Young Bun
Hi, I usually only look after Bunnies for short periods of time whilst they're ill or recovering, and these are always kept indoors.
For my birthday this year I treated myself to my very own Bun, Harvey - then a few months later Martha (who I rehomed from this site )
As Harvey is only 7-8 months old (approx.) this is his first winter, and I've turned into a crazy bun mum.
Their hutch is two tiered with a large run underneath that would definitely not fit in the shed, and with them both being rather large bunns, and my house being a mini zoo, there's no way I could move them indoors for winter
Any ideas on how to keep them warm this winter? I've tried the snuggle pads but Mr H just chews the covers off, little munchkin!
Also whilst I'm on the winter topic, how to you ensure your buns get exercise?
With all this rain they haven't been out much lately (the lawn in my back yard gets water logged very quickly), I'm going to try and bring them in for a play - I find this quite difficult as Martha refuses to use a litter tray - and perhaps buy one of the reusable puppy training pads from Pets At Home (http://www.petsathome.com/shop/simple-solution-washable-travel-pad-large-(online-only)-111267), I realise that this will only be possible for a few weeks longer otherwise the temperature change could affect them.
I did try letting them out in the rain with somewhere to hide, but the little munchkins just ran in the rain. Martha was good as gold, as usual, but Mr H was having none of it when I had to dry him off.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
