Will you please send to me? We are losing this issue with our 8 mo old Austin. Greeat dog but cats and chickens are toys. They all live outside.

Yeah temp is going to be maybe 10 belowish but wind supposed to be -60. His hidey lean to is full of straw and out of wind. But the rest of the hutch is not - has mesh bottom and cracks between walls and ceiling. He has to come out to eat and drink. Water has electric warmer. We wouldn't bring...

This is our first winter with an outdoor bunny in a hutch. He has a small space filled with straw, a sorta "hidey hole". The next 2 days are going to stay below zero, down to about -10 or -15. Should i bring him into our basement? Anyone experienced with outdoor rabbits?

Thanks for your comments. Buried him this morning... :( In reply, no worms in stool sample per vet. No, no runny eyes or anything else at all that seemed wrong. So frustrating. Had to be sick, infection, something wrong inside. I figured if he had anything like that the other one would have...

Well, I think he's not going to make it :( We seperated him to see if the other one was bullying him. He ate/drank/pooped normally. We thought he would fatten back up and be fine. But he's actually continued to drop weight, and I don't think he can get up. Expecting him to be gone this...

Their hutch is in the enclosed covered chicken run. I don't know the percents in regular rabbit feed pellets. The other bunny is doing fine on it. He figured out the new heated waterer mechanic before the other one did. I don't know when it started, how long it took him to drop it. But I'm...

Maybe will have to order a 2nd heated water bottle and put the divider back in. But I like them snuggled together for warmth in the winter. And if they are together they do not each have only half the space and can have access to the full chicken run (probably not til spring though).

Feed them rabbit pellets and hay. Just put in a 2nd food dish today.

Good note, we will put some in. But the vet said his teeth look good.

Of what? Just of the bunnies? He's been to the vet and looks fine. Just underweight. 4.2lbs, she said he should be around 5lbs. And he was not like this when we got him. Can't tell by looking, but you can feel the spine bones sticking out when petting him.

Daughter got 2 male bunnies in the spring. They were not friends, but after living together in the same hutch with a divider screen down the middle for months we tried them together. One established dominance and now they don't fight and snuggle together. Don't see any problems between them. But...

I guess it would be hard to tell with the litter (hay, leaves, etc) in the bottom of the boxes. Also when they were laying outside the boxes wouldn't know where to look for wet spot

Thanks for help with detective work. But I'm not seeing any suggestions how to stop egg eating...so there's really nothing can be done? Yes, the boxes are high and eggs can't be rolled out. Below freezing, no snakes. They were laying outside of the boxes, so we started leaving a couple eggs in...

They eat regular layer pellets. I will get some oyster shells. Thanks!

ok, hopefully normal. This is our 1st year with adult chickens. It just looks alarming! I will try to get a couple closer pics
