Exercise pen in the snow?

[dirtyduckz]

I have a rabbit that I feel would be good at rabbit agility, and I want to start working with her.

All my rabbits are kept outdoors in open air hutch set-ups. So I will not bring them inside during these cold months (I am in MI... brrrrrrrrr)

Can I work her on the ground in the snow? Would this be bad for her hocks? What about the dampness when the snow melts off her?

I also have other rabbits who are used to getting their fair share of time in the exercise pen.

Any ideas?

Mine only go in the snow for like a couple of mins, however the areas that they live in permanently are fully weather proofed so that if it snows, the ground doesn't get the snow, could you maybe have a covered area that you could use so that if you really have to get them out, they are not in the actual snow? You would also need to provide a great deal of places to snuggle incase they got cold.
