Hello everyone,
Okay, my two buns are outside after being house buns for just over a year. They have been living outside for a little while now and have a fleece blanket on top of a bath mat in the bed area upstairs in the hutch which always feels toasty when I put my hand in. I have left the other areas of the floor bare wood and they have their litter tray stuffed with hay downstairs. There is another small bedroom bit downstairs in the hutch which I have put card board in but they don't really use it. They have a run attached and we have boarded off underneath the run so the buns have access to under there as well.
I have a bag of straw and am wondering if I should be using this now it's getting colder. I don't want the buns to start peeing everywhere though as they are really good with their tray but will wee where there is hay so I assume they will do the same with straw. They have not had straw before so maybe I shouldn't judge the buns unfairly! Maybe I could stuff their pet carrier with straw and put it in the run but then it may get wet? I would also appreciate any advice on keeping the buns warmer.
It was so much easier when they were indoors but due to having internal building work done Matilda and Kyle were outside and loved it they have a new confidence which is great to see
Thanks in advance
