During the winter, it's can become very hard to take care of your rabbits. So here is some tips to help you!
Rabbits need water 24/7. Water bottle freeze during the winter and very fast! You could do lots of things to keep them from freezing!
1. If you have 1-3 rabbits you can buy heated water bottles. They work great! But if you have lots of rabbits, the water bottle become very expensive!
2. You could switch out the water bottle about every 2-4 hours.
3. The best way if you could do any of those, is get ceramic dishes. They don't freeze as fast and water bottles.
They must have hay. Rabbits may need hay all year long. Especially during the winter. And lots! If they get cold they can cuddle into it to keep warm. Also it's keep them warm. By munching on it until it gone they create heat. So make sure they have lots to keep warm!
They need to be dry and draft free! If you have them in a shed or hutch. The need to be dry and away from wind.
1. If you rabbits is in a hutch you can fill the hutch with lots of straw. So the rabbit can cuddle into the straw. Then cover an openings in the cage/hutch so the wind stays out.
2. If in a shed, make sure that everything is sealed and your bunny is happy!
3. You rabbit must be dry! If your rabbit dumps the water bowl on themselves, they can die very easily.
Exercise is important during the winter. Make sure that your rabbit has a big enough cage to where they are able to run around a stretch out their leg and keep warm!
