Yes! But you must make sure it doesn't dip too far into the negatives.

Mini lops are no hardier than other pet rabbits. Pet rabbits descend from the European Rabbit, who's natural habitat is the Mediterranean region where it never gets too hot or too cold. Pet rabbits can't handle cold climates like the wild rabbits there can.

Pet rabbits (including mini lops) are most comfortable between 50-75F (10-23C). Colder weather, especially if they get wet, can lead to hypothermia.

Under 50F (10C), rabbits need to be are able to warm up when they need to. For example, provide a secure shelter from breezes and precipitation where the rabbits can freely go when they get a little chilly, with a "nest" box with dry bedding where they can snuggle and warm up. Under 40F (5C), rabbits needs indoor shelter with artificial heating.
