  I am looking forward to letting Oliver play in the snow! I haven’t been able to use our x-pen outside since we got it ….the apartment owner fertilizes the lawn. I had never thought about using it in the snow until now!!

  Haha! They really do like it. Guess these Northerner bunnies are used to the cooler temps. And here’s me worrying about mine when temps drop below 55F. lol
  
  Jessi, some people have bought snow indoors and put it in their bathtub for there rabbits. Might be a more comfortable option for you. Brrrr!

  I’m glad you mention this, Jersey. It is not at all good for rabbits to expperience sudden changes in temperatures. It stresses their immune system and can lead to an outbreak of an underlying illness. General fitness and body condition are factors to consider as well when exposing rabbits to the outdoors. Indoor rabbits do not develop a true winter coat. Putting a rabbit outside into the cold requires great caution for these reasons. It should never be done for prolonged periods of time.
