Hi! What is the temperature usually like? Is there anywhere she can be brought in?
To be honest I've been told different things. Some people say that bringing them in can shock them if they are used to being outside if its usually cold.
Some say to just give extra bedding, you can get heat pads too and does her hutch have a cover? We had two outdoor rabbits and we only ever brought them in once, we just tried to make them as warm as possible but in the UK it is cold very often so they were used to it.. x

@thewolf1039 Not heating pads! Warming pads that are specifically made for animals is what we use. Huge difference! A warming pad does just that, warms. You can place your hand on it and it does not get hot. A heating pad even on low gets too hot and are of materials that a rabbit can chew into.

A nesting box with hay or straw should be good enough in those temperatures even for a rabbit that age. I get concerned about mine when the temperature dips into the mid twenties and under if there is a lot of wind.

mine have been out in the hutch below zero this winter. they are older but if she been out for a while and how much of a temp change are you talking

How is she doing? Most rabbits will do just fine in cold temperatures (even negative temperatures), but I would still be concerned about your rabbit due to her young age and past history (she didn't use to live outside, right?).
