Answer 1

Bunnies have big problems in temperatures over 28 degrees Celcius, which calculates as 82°Farenheit, and they need to be kept cool, otherwise they can die from heat stroke. Heat is much more dangerous for bunns, they tolerate cool weather much better than heat. I've written an article on symptoms of heat stroke and how to treat -

Keeping them inside with you is excellent - they'll become a lot more bonded to you and a lot more affectionate if you keep them indoors. An indoors bunn is also much safer from dangerous predators, and safer from extremes of weather which can kill a bunn. And the more time you spend with them, the closer and more affectionate they'll become to you!

If you have your bunns running around your rooms while you're there with them, just remember that it's important to keep electric cables and poisonous plants tucked far away from them. Keep all electrical cables tucked well underneath thick rugs or mats or cushions, or you can securely attach cables so they're running up high along your walls, where your bunns can't reach them.

i could be thoroughly lacking the factor right here yet you look to think of Britain is almost a city or something. " I genuinely have performed on Google earth sufficient to correctly known that super Britain isn't that prevalent whilst in comparison with the U.S. so i do no longer ideas traveling somewhat to get hair performed, purchase outfits, and so on, yet as long because of fact the above is trouble-free to do i could be satisfied" that is lots larger than you think of it quite is. we don't all have a communal hair dressers and we don't all drink from the comparable properly. quite, England (i'm leaving Scotland, Wales and eire out on condition that i'm no longer a hundred% specific approximately them) is split up into counties, that are consequently divided up into cities and cities. Your superb guess could be between the small us of a villages dotted approximately. that is green and delightful as far because of fact the attention can see, yet you do no longer ever ought to force to any extent further than 0.5 an hour to discover the city centre. cities including those are oftentimes laid out with a city corridor and church interior the midsection, homes slotted around and a manor or 2 at the back of closed gates. a super number of those are open to the popular public and there is not any place greater desirable than an English backyard. to this point as i'm conscious, there is largely one place in Britain the place you're thoroughly decrease off, it quite is a pub residing on the actual of a mountain in Scotland. final time it snowed human beings have been caught there for days. Bolton Abbey sounds like a logical determination for you (city, no longer the monastery. do no longer become a nun)

Answer 3

Your information regarding 50 degrees is fairly acurate. Rabbits will actually acclimate to the cold much better than the hot. They just need the housing to be draft free, and dry if housed outside in the cold.

Rabbits have a difficult time during the summer, they are wearing a fur coat afterall. We find ours to appear to be most comfortable around 50%.

Answer 4

66 to 70 degrees is the best. But remember that they do have a fur coat If the temp is cooler it's OK.... it will actually keep the coat from shedding out. As long as there isn't a draft on them (can cause snuffles) and you try not to change the temp dramatically they will be fine. If your really worried about it I would supply them with a wooden nesting box.

Answer 5

try this website: www.rabbitwelfare.co.uk or google The House Rabbit Society for good informed advice.
rabbits can cope with the cold better than the heat, so don't worry too much as long as they are not in direct wind and have some nice warm soft hay to sleep in they will be fine.

Answer 6

It's okay if it gets colder in the winter. Bunnies can actually live outside in the dead of winter as long as they have the proper bedding in their hutch so they can burrow into it when they get cold. Just make sure they have something to curl up in/under, and they will be fine. A friend of mine owns bunnies that she keeps outside in a rabbitt hutch all year round, & we live in Chicago. It's really just a matter of the insulation you give them so they can keep warm.

Answer 7

My little fella lives outside all year round.

I live in the UK the temperature in my area very rarely drops below minus 4 Celsius.
If a colder night is forecast I bring him indoors.

he is 3 years old and quite happy.
