Hi all,

This will probably sound lime a really silly question, but I've seen a few comments on various forums that rabbits shouldn't go out in wet grass? I can't see why it would be problem as wild rabbits are out in all weather. Can anyone confirm either way for me? Thanks!

Mine are on grass (or have access to grass) 24/7, whether it's dry or wet :thumb:. Like you say, wildies don't stay underground if it's raining.

i've never let mine eat wet grass. i think it can cause some tummy issues if they're not used to being out on the grass all the time. :wave:

I let mine, but I really restrict it to 15 mins at a time just incase (but Rupert has tummy gas issues anyway)

If it's wet and alive or wet and just picked, no problem.

issue is if it's wet and sits around it can get moldy fast and/or ferment, that's where the tummy issues come from.
