I would ask him again ..tell him the rabbit forum people said the bunieswould do better inside until the storm is over.
if he says no stay with them as much as you can and talk to them.

i don't know if you can give them something to calm them but I'll try to find out....

Fran

I also asked some question re. giving them something to calm them ..it's in the rabbitry section so check here and also in rabbitry for replies

 

[FranGardner]

I gave them some extra straw to snuggle up n and put a cover over the run and hutch its no so bad now i so i just went out they seemed ok. the baby was a but timid but she has been like that since i got her yesterday. but i may get her and bring her in for a little bit

thank you

 

[Maureen Las]

covering them and giving them extra straw is a great idea ..also check the rabbitry for replies.

[FranGardner]

[Maureen Las]

You should try to think of a really nice name for such a gorgeous bun.

if she'swith you now I'm sure that she feels safe and warm

 

[FranGardner]

i had to wee so i left her she hopped on to my mums lap. i just put her to bed.

Mine are house rabbits and they don't like the thunder. I can only image how scared a rabbit in an outside hutch would be.

I have nine rabbits in my one bedroom condo. Six are mine and three are fosters. My six are in exercise pens. The hay does bother bother my allergies but I put up with it. I have to clean their litter boxes every two to three days to keep the smell down.

 

[FranGardner]

umm i was thinking of maybe letting Molly in the house more as she doesn't mind contact even if it was the kitchen.

umm maybe ill see what happens. Molly was a little but as i said i bought her in but my other one was ok she just snuggled up in some straw but she hopping about as normal after. 9 rabbits!!! WOW x

 

[Maureen Las]

Molly is a nice name Fran

Who had 9 rabbits???
