Bright lights!

... Well more like mood-lights. 

Since the outside part of the cage has been left in the shadow of the house-part I put some Christmas lights up, just out of reach of Jason’s teeth of course:P

Winter tips for outdoor bunnies!

Bertie is an outdoor bun. He was born in the snow so has always been happier outside as he has really thick fur! He's never had much trouble in winter but here are our tips on how to keep outdoor buns happy and healthy when it gets cold! 1. Lots of hay/straw. It lines the hutch and insulates the walls to some degree. Not only that but it's important for buns to eat, and it's also fun to nest in! 2. Cover the hutch with plastic or waterproof tarp. I secure mine to the roof with bricks and let it hang down to the floor where it's secured with another brick. This lets me uncover Bertie's 'Windows' during the day and allows him an extra layer of protection from the rain and wind at night. 3. Toys! Obviously during the winter months it's sometimes hard to allow an outdoor bun space to binky and play. I bring Bertie inside to free range occasionally (although not too often as this can cause him to overheat and be uncomfy) but switching up the toys he has on offer keeps things interesting and stops him becoming bored when I'm at work! Just a few of Our favourite toys include: - a stuffed animal (we use a 'stuffing free' dog toy so he doesn't chew!) - toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay and healthy treats - the 'tug n gnaw' toy from Pets at Home - A bird mirror attached to the bars of the hutch - natural wicker balls or wicker sticks -cardboard boxes! 4. If, like Bertie, your rabbit isn't much of a chewer, providing a blanket for buns to snuggle on is a very popular option! I bought a pack of two inexpensive fleece blankets, one of which he has in his hutch that he loves to lie on, and the other I use as a spare. Fluffy pillows/beds that are intended for 'small dogs' also work well! 5. Stick to their normal routine as much as possible- I know it's not nice going out in the rain but don't put off their feeding or cleaning routines! 6. Check water bottles regularly for leaks/being frozen over, and keep a spare bottle just in case. 7. Clean out wet bedding more regularly as this can freeze and be very uncomfortable for your buns 8. Perform regular handling/grooming sessions to ensure no overgrown claws/teeth or health issues (this should go without saying but more health problems occur in colder weather and it can be hard to spot if you're not able to free range your bun as often) There are probably more things I forgot to add, but these are the main things I do to keep my bun happy! Hope some of these are helpful to you!

Very worried about Alice..mum said to wait for my dad to get home to assess whether it's too cold for her to come inside. Unfortunately she hates being brought inside..we've done it before during heat waves and snowstorms, but ultimately, she likes to stay in her outside pen. I'm hoping my dad agrees with me and brings her in, it's far too cold for the poor thing, even if she is bred to live outdoors.
