My bunny Buckley is housed outside in a 6ft by 4ft hutch with a 10ft by 5 ft run that is attached to his hutch so he can go in and out when he pleases. At night he gets locked in his hutch but in the morning i let him out and he stays out until about 11 at night, he can't jump or dig out so it's fine and he can go into his hutch if he wants to, he never does though..
When it rains he would rather sit outside and get soaked than go into his hutch, people have told me that he can get sick or get a cold if he gets wet as he does just sit out in it all day and get soaked.
I was wondering if i should just lock him in his hutch when it rains and let him out for a few minutes, he isn't allowed in the house right now as my mum is slightly allergic to bunnies and he is going through a huge moult so her allergies will get worse, so i couldn't bring him in for a run.
But will it really make him sick if he sits in the rain and gets wet?? And why does he sit in the rain? Does he like it? As my other bunnies run inside at the slightest bit of rain! What should i do?
