Oh man! Your rabbits must have an incredible life!
I see some snow. What province or state do you live and how cold can the rabbits tolerate?

Thank you for your kind words. I live in Ontario on the edge of Algonquin Park. The insulated garage gets down to -10c or so while the bunny barn which is uninsulated but well ventilated gets down to -20c. I use bunny boxes filled with processed straw, heated water bowls and chicken coop heater in the barn. Using a thermal cam on my phone i can check that they are keeping their body temperatures at 35c as well as digital sensors that alarm if things get too hot cold or damp.




I want all my animals, bunnies, chickens, ducks as well as 2 dogs and 4 rescure cats to feel like they have won the lottery. I am retired and now that is my job and we all work hard together to make sure everybody is thriving.

I have a running ad for bunnies and once they pass my screening i give them away for free so i can stay on top of the numbers. Three went last week and another 4 planned to go out 2 weeeks after easter. I wont adopt any out close to easter for their safety.

Well, being a bunny parent makes me live in their large hutch, which just happens to be my house...

That's ok for me no problem. It's just, it looks "strange" to outsiders, and right now I'm expecting the police to show up for the gun storage check, every 5 years, and that's how my kitchen, where the safe is, looks like..., *sigh*, that hardly gives a good impression about mental health etc. to people who don't know how much rabbits enjoy chewing stuff...
That is going to be somewhat awkward...
