Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[Victoria]

Can anyone help me? I have two gorgeous new little girls and they came home to thier beautiful new Rablu yesterday. The temperature has really dropped today. I closed the door last night overnight, however they still have not ventured out in to the run(at all). They seem to be eating and I caught them lying in the sun that was shining in through the door. Are they perhaps still settling and will take their time to venture out?

 

I have only got the summer sun shade on the run at the moment (this is all I have at this time) and as they are still only 8 weeks old I have them on our patio.

 

I don't intend to always keep the door shut, but is it wise to shut it at night while they are so young and considering it has suddenly turned cold?

Hi there! welcome to the forum, I think its wise to keep them in at night while they are still young. As long as they are eating and drinking, and there poos are not runny I would'nt worry about them not going out yet, its been very windy and bitterly cold so I don't blame them if you open the door every morning they at least have the choice.Mine won't go in their rablu, only to eat, but they are older bunnies just give them loads and loads of hay to snuggle into and nibble on they will be fine! let us know how you get on.

They sound lovely

 

When you first get bunnies, especially if they are still little, it's best to restrict the area they have access to for a couple of days until they settle down (much as you would for a new kitten or puppy). Then let them use a wider area after a while.

 

They'll get used to it and will be scampering around soon.

 

You may find that most bunnies don't like being shut in at night - they are very active at night and tend to sleep in the middle of the day, unlike guineas, who like to have a bed to go to sleep in at night.
