If you have rabbits that are raised outside do not bring them in the house just because it gets cold outside! If you leave them outside all year round they will adapt to the changes in the weather and the temperature. My family has been raising rabbits for over 10 years and we have never brought them inside no matter how cold it gets outside. To make sure they'll be okay in the cold weather make sure they have a nesting box to sleep in and provide them with bedding( straw or hay). Make sure they have plenty of food and fresh water. If your rabbit has bunnies during the winter, don't worry about them. The mother knows what to do, she will take care of them. Like I said before just provide them with bedding. Since you do have them inside though you may want to wait until it's at least 50 degrees outside. When winter comes next year don't move them into the house.

Hi there...animals are at risk for hypothermia and frost bites to their ears, nose, lips, etc when climate temperatures fall below freezing. As a general rule which veterinarian's advise "if it's too cold for you, it's generally too cold for your pets" and they should be brought indoors until the climate warms up.

Just think about the temperature that YOU would be comfortable at.
