We have 2 buns brother and sister Bracken and Dandy. Brackens an amputee rt front leg and dandy has all four feet. i have put them extra bedding for the night as its cold but they keep shoving it all out downstairs!! OH says they have fur coats and what am i worrying about. Hutch is too big to bring in garage dont think it would go thro door. I have thrown old rug over hutch. Am I worrying too much.

It is really cold isn't it and set to get colder over the next few days. I am worried about my buns too, they are outside, but they aren't bonded yet so are in hutches on there own and can't snuggle up together. I have a tarpaulin covering the hutches to try and keep the cold air out. I shut them into their upstairs quarters each night but Priscilla sits in the open part of his hutch for most of the night and seems to ignore the cosy bedroom area.

 

Is there no way you can shut the ramp up so they can't throw their bedding down? Or can you turn their hutch round to face a wall so it is more sheltered?

The only other thing I can suggest is the snugglesafe microwave pads that go in their hutches:

They should be fine if the hutch is an a sheltered place. Bunnies aren't really into bedding like GOs are and mine usually shred any straw that I give them! They are diurnal, so are awake most at night.

 

Try hanging a clear tarp over the front of the hutch to keep the worst of the cold and wet out. Make sure that you leave some gaps for airflow though.
