Weather Warning: Is anyone bringing in their buns tonight?

We have had really bizarre stormy weather here all day (Cardiff) and there are meant to be winds of 40mph by 10.00pm. My boy Ham is very hardy but his downstairs where he sleeps doesn't have much shelter, he's been staying upstairs for hours which is basically the place he goes to the toilet, so not great. Bea's hutch is more sheltered but I'm still paranoid.

My OH is telling me not to worry about it but I don't want to leave them out there tonight What do you guys think?

Yes, we are definitely feeling the effect of the storm where we are. All our buns will be shut in their sheds and playhouses tonight, but during the day the wind has been really taking the doors whenever we've opened them.

What is her set up like? Is it pretty robust? I'm sure I read online somewhere a while back that someone's hutch blew over in a storm, but fortunately the rabbits were ok.

Do you have a place for her inside if you were to bring her in?

Hopefully you won't need to worry and everything will be just fine x

It may have been my hutch that you remember reading about! It was on uneven ground at the time and the wind was able to get behind it. I'm extra paranoid now though, since that terrifying experience of finding it face down.

I don't think that either of the hutches will blow over but I'm still worried that the buns will be too cold and scared of the noise of the wind

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't recall it was your hutch and yes, it must have stayed with you. It's seemed a bit calmer here when I fed everyone this evening, so hopefully it will be ok. They probably won't be too worried about the wind and as long as they have hay to cosy up in x

I don't think bunnies get scared of the wind. Bumble was in the run drinking when I went to check on her! (They've got another water bottle in their home) I told her this is no place for a bunny but she doesn't seem bothered!
