BeckyBoo Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well it's been drizzling all evening this evening, turning to proper rain, my bunnies run has no roof (apart from wire) so I duly went out to put the cover on to stop them getting soaked and give them some fresh hay and what do I find about half an hour later? They're both sitting in the one corner that's NOT covered and getting soaking wet? Should I leave the cover off? I, personally, don't think rabbits are as domesticated as say cats and dogs, and I know it's natural behaviour for them to be out at night whatever the weather, but for goodness sakes! Should I just leave the cover off? I'm quite new to outdoor rabbits, well, to rabbits in general really, I thought they'd appreciate being able to be outside without being wet?

Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 well, unless you can cover that corner up, you'll have to leave them to it. What would you do in the same situation if it was the chickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My new addition is currently wandering around outside of his hutch in the pouring rain, we have towel dried him off once. His hutch is open and ramp is down but is still preferring it outside rather than in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklyrabbit Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 All of our rabbits, past and present, opt to sit on the lawn in the rain. They have plenty of places, including their eglu and run to hide under when the skies start falling, but they will stay out in the rain for as long as they can! I only worry if it is COLD and raining or if it is really heavy rain and then I encourage them inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
