Kokaneeandkahlua, they make ones for “small animals” and it has a pictures of a rabbit with the pad, but I don’t really trust pet companies. Wild rabbits do well during winter by burrowing, but that option isn’t available to many domestic rabbits. I like the idea, sunshinesocks, but I’m not sure what the heating pack is filled with and I’d be worried they’d eat whatever grains or pellets are inside and the only ones available near me (that I’ve seen) have long plush that I know the little bunnies will eat. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. This does mean that you’ll need to keep them inside until spring because they will have lost that lovely warm winter coat.

I know people here use them with their outdoor buns, but I imagine they keep them under the cage itself and not actually in it. or by courier - and we have range of couriers available, so please just let us know if you have a preference. Please note: The SnuggleSafe heatpad is SGS/ Smithers RAPRA tested (ISO accredited) and batch tested for product conformity. So if they have a heated place to sit sometimes, they could end up with a thinner coat than they need for whenever they move away from that place/exercise/whenever it is switched off. I had heard about using heat lamps for chickens that don't produce light, but I'm hesitant with that option?Long term, I can build a box to separate them from the pad and cord, but until then I’ll have to find another solution. Maintaining a healthy temperature is important because rabbits can suffer easily from heat stroke if they are allowed to get too hot, hypothermia if they are allowed to get too cold. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.

Since it isn't possible to put your rabbit's hutch underground, you have to take extra precautions to keep it in winter and during cold spells. Rabbits are increasingly prone to illness as the temperature drops so keep a close eye on them, including any behavioural changes. Simply microwave the pad for a few minutes and it will provide up to 10 hours of warmth, perfect for lasting the night. As their body temperature rises, the blood vessels in their ears expand, thus allowing more blood to flow through the ears.The original SnuggleSafe Microwave Heated Pad can be heated in minutes in a microwave and lasts for up to 10 hours. I’m equally paranoid that they’ll overheat if I put too many heaters near the cage as I won’t be able to judge their temperature as well with the rest of the garage so chilly. I don't know of any tried method to heat inside a hutch, but the hutches at the rescue are double bubble wrapped and have full covers on in the winter, and piles of hay! A drought-proof winter hutch and enclosure should be set up; with a little technical skill this can be a straightforward task. Alternately, you can use a plug-in pad wrapped in a towel or blanket and placed underneath the cage.

They have yet to chew on their beds so I’m hoping they won’t start now, but I’ll have a heads up before they get to the heating pad. These blankets hold heat very well and are even appropriate for incontinent rabbits as moisture goes right through them. Use your thumb and forefinger to gently fold back your rabbit's hair and skin near their genital area to expose the anus. Make sure the hutch is good and sturdy, without any gaps for the weather to creep in, and keep it waterproofed to keep the rain out. Make sure your rabbit cannot access cords and keep them out of contact with water, including rain and snow.

Bun's are fine with the cold, the shed mine are in gets freezing in winter, the wee in the litter trays froze, as well as their water, buns were fine though. Perfect for cold, wintry times, it is also ideal for helping with muscle relaxation, to relieve injury and reduce stress in times of recuperation. The enclosure and hutch should include several elevated levels to enable your rabbits to retreat to different levels if the ground is very cold; in particular, the sleeping compartment must not be too close to the ground, as it may be at risk of ground frost.
