Light to help bunnies stay warm?
Someone told me that putting a light near the cage to keep them warm is bad because they cannot get any rest/sleep with the constant light. …I have 3 bunnies in the pole garage (about 3 months old, without their Mom) and I am worried they might be too cold throughout the winter without a light…Michigan gets chilly…any suggestions?
I was really intrigued by your question..I found it really sweet because I love bunnies also..! so I did some research..
Lighting and Heat Reflector lights for Kits: It is best to run electrical lines (12 or 14 gauge or your choice) so you can have electrical outlets at various places in your barn. Make sure you run these lines on overhead rafters, or runners, or overhead beams, to prevent the possibility of any rabbit chewing the wires. Rabbits are like puppies, some chew everything, some never chew anything…It is also a very good idea to run multi outlet extension cords here and there, especially over your doe cages so if needed you can heat over the nest box in winter with a reflector heat light. What is this? It’s simply a light bulb (60 to 100 watt normal light bulb) placed in a reflector silver metal light globe and placed upside down on the cage top over the nest box, in extreme cold. These reflector lights come with a clamp end that you can clamp onto the top cage wire to prevent them from moving around. They are inexpensive ($4 to $7 dollars each) and can be found at dollar stores, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depo and many other places. (If weather falls below 35 degrees I place them inside my doe cages over the box… about 10 inches above the nest box, but if you do this make CERTAIN the light is attached and will not fall into the nest box and start a fire, or burn kits, or be sure the doe cannot reach the electric cord to chew it !)
if you need more help maybe you could ask a pet shop owner. I’m sure they know. I hope I helped.
