okay so i am in a bit of a dilemma here, and need some advice.
i became a new rabbit owner in february of this year.
now i have to add that i live in ireland, and that the winters we get here are usually quite mild, with exceptions for last year, and now also it is getting quite cold too.
now my pet rabbits are in a shed, (separated because they are male and female) and i feel that it is getting cold outdoors now.
now i know that normally in wild they are well able to survive cold winters, but because they are caged (except when i open it up for them to run around) it looks like it is cold for them.
i gave them straw and lots of bedding and a lot of food and water to keep them warm and well fed, but is there any other way i can keep them warm?
tonight it is going to be -5 here, and over the coming days it is going to be around -10 so very cold.
please help! thank you.
