Dwarf Lionhead Rabbits

[diddl]

Anyone got any?
If so, do you leave them out all Winter?
If not, at what sort of temperature do you bring them in?

yes. we have one, but she lives in . Obviously goes out in the daytime in the summer but is a house rabbit.

She is a bastard biter, are yours?

WE have a male-the sweetest most placid thing.

And a female.

Husband calls her an "attack rabbit"!

We usually bring themin for Winter, but I´m sure not this early.
But it´s due to go below freezing tonight, so I think I will.

Just being a bit lazy as I haven´t got their usual place ready yet.

I think i would bring her in if i were you because of such a drop in temp due.

Or put a blanket over her hutch outside?

Ours only bites when you put your hand in her cage to reach for the bowl or pick her up. Once out and free she is fine. Must be scary having a giant hand coming in at you.

just re-read and you have 2. It is a female thing this biting. We have only ever had one male and he was lovely. all the others have been female and my skin has met with all of their teeth.

There is a big old curtain on the hutch that I pull down.

But it seems quite cold to me now tbh.

We often have them in the living room, but I think they get too hot.

So I´m making place in the cellar.

Certainly warmer than outside, but they won´t be sweating & drinking umpteen bottles of water!

Some friends have "ordinary" rabbits, and leave them out all Winter, but I get the feeling that they are hardier than Lionheads & with denser fur?

Lionheads are fine to be outside if that is what they've been used to. Especially if they have a partner to snuggle up to. Outside rebbits will have grown their winter coats now. Mine stay out when it's thick snow and even in the middle of the night they sit in their run instead of up in the warm hutch. Just ensure there is plenty of thick bedding (straw or hay) to burrow in, and that part of the hutch is completely protected from the elements. Some people cover the hutch with thick rugs (ensure there is some ventilation).
