Answer 2

Usually you would want to put them in your garage (like move the cage in there) Rabbits are good with cold but wind is bad for them. So if you need them to be outside it would be a good idea to put tarp (or a blanket or something to that degree) on top of the cage for them to keep the wind away from them. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

first answer: It is animal cruelty if you leave a rabbit out during the winter so take it inside.

second answer: You will need to put a blanket around the cage to keep them warm.

third answer: Whoever wrote the first two answers didn't say what kind of climate they're talking about, so depending on where you live they may or may not be true for you.

Depending on where you live, you may not be able to keep your rabbit outside in the winter. You may have to bring them inside, where it's heated.

Pet rabbits are very different from American wild rabbits. All animals are adapted to their own native habitats. For instance, if you took a frog from the Amazon, and dropped it in the Yukon, it would freeze to death -- even though there are frogs in the Yukon! Pet rabbits come from the Western Mediterranean region, where it's never too hot and never too cold. So, you could live in a very cold or very hot place, and there may be wild rabbits aroudn, but that doesn't mean your pet rabbit can live outside safely.

Pet rabbits are most comfortable between 50-75F (10-23C).When it gets down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, make sure your bunny is protected from wetness and wind. Wet rabbits are much more susceptible to illness in cool weather than dry rabbits are.

If it gets colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, then you need to take special measures to make sure your bunny doesn't freeze. It is imperative now that your bunnies are always 100% dry and out of the wind/breeze. Also, put a box in the hutch with bedding in it: when they feel a little chilly, your bunnies can go there to snuggle and generate body heat.

Under 40F (5C), pet rabbits needs indoor shelter with artificial heating: you can't keep them outside!

Answer 4

Really they have a coat for different times of the year but they need hay basically. But in winter it's different because they do get cold. So then they need loads of hay sometimes a water bottle underneath the hay a night a piece of carpet over front of cage for insulation.

Answer 5

The best thing you can do is get a portable mini hutch and bring them inside the house.

However if this isn't possible it helps to put loads of newspaper shreds underneath the straw for them.

And extra straw.
