My Harvey lives outside in the winter. He lives in a shed so he is protected from the wind most of the time, but for obvious reasons it is way way colder where he lives then in the house. He is a good weight right now (a bit less than 8 lbs). He has/is growing a nice thick winter coat...
I was curious as to whether I should change his nutrition at all due to the winter weather. Something to make him warmer? He is protected from wind, has insulation, and loads of hay to burrow in so he does stay warm even on the freezing N.E. winter nights. Last year he had a buddy to snuggle with though...
Should I try to plump him up (a teeny bit) for the winter? Maybe add an extra 1/4 of a cup to his diet since that will add fat quick. Just curious if this is a good idea. Other ideas appreciated...
Current diet for 7-8 lbs bunny who is good weight:
1-2 cups veggies morning & 1/4 cup timothy complete pellets-morning
1-2 cups veggies morning & 1/4 cup timothy complete pellets- night
free choice timothy hay
