Bunny question!

Hi Ash, where do I start?

Yes, apparently bunnies love the snow. And it is ok to let them out on cold days for a while, I let my gang out one day when it was dry and they love to run around in the mud etc, I did give them a good clean with a towel when they came back inside.

Yes it is much better for rabbits to have a friend, one of the opposite sex is best, although Jilly would have to be spayed first and the other rabbit should be spayed or neutered too. Sometimes it is hard to bond rabbits but if you decide later on to get another, I am sure some people here with give you advice on how to do that. There are also web sites that give good advice to.

Thanx. Ok, right now we don't want another Bunny, but we were talking about it. I don't know if I told you guys this, but Jilly has a vet Apointment on MOnday to go see if everything is good. There should be some new pics of Jilly coming in the Jilly Bean thread posted by WolfQ. Hopfully they will be posted soon or are posted. I just know Wolfq recieved them. Also, there should be some Chewy pics in the Chewy thread that WolfQ also did for me, shes so nice.

As long as the Jilly has someone with her I would say it's ok to be outside for a while. Remember though that bunnies love to dig.....they may get in to mischief by digging up your flower garden (not that that would happen in winter)... However, the thing that concerns me most is that they will also dig under fences and can get out and lost.

Ideally your fencing should be sunk 12 inches beneath ground level. Since that's not practical you'll have to keep an eye out for any signs that she is digging by the fence.....ESPECAILLY when spring, summer and fall comes and Jilly can be out for longer periods of time. I would hate for you to lose her that way.

We have a large puppy pen for her to raom in but are hopeing to get her a even larger pen to be out in, probly one as long as our fence, but with another fence going along the fence so she has to dig under 2 fences to get out. I wasn't really planning on letting her out by herself, so I don't know if I will, exept in her large 3 story pen which my friend gave me.
