What can I do to keep my rabbits warm this winter?

How do I keep them warm? Their outside rabbits in a cage, I tried putting a sheet on there, but it keeps blowing off. I tried putting hay in there, but they just eat it. I also tried making a “bunny hut”, but they chewed it up. HELP!

Answer #1

If you have a shed put it in there but remember to shut the shed at night time so no other animals casn get in :)

Answer #2

try heated pet mats: http://www.alliedprecision.com/petmats.html (you could put it in the bottom part and cover it in plastic so it doesn’t get poop on it)

And you could try attaching the sheet somehow.

Answer #3

I keep my bunny in the garage, and spoil her with foods. Shes a fat one now. she’s a lot happier in the garage, its warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

She has lived 3 years =)

Answer #4

I don’t have rabbits, but I have a gunia pig (Who is also fat+spoilt, & has lived around 3 years). We keep him on the veranda, so it does get quite cool out there. You could use a heavier blanket & weight it down with something or use pegs to hold it on (if you have a wire like cage). If you get a tarpolan (those plastic sheets with holes in them) you could put a warm blanket over the cage then place the tarpolon over so it’s tight & peg it down, though that may be a bit of a hassle. You’ll probably want to use a plastic sheet to at least cover any other sheets in case of rain & other things.

I hope you manage to find the answer (:

Answer #5

TRY A HEATING PAD WITH A GARBAGE BAG OVER IT AND THEN STRAW ON TOP OF THAT.

Answer #6

try a heat lamp or just a light above the cage, or put them inside or in the garage.

Answer #7

I have show rabbits and they’re all outside. If there’s no house on the cage, then I put straw in their cage, but I also have tarps over my cages. :)
