On nights when it dips below 20 degrees and the wind is unbearable like it was tonight, I throw quilts and rugs over all the rabbits cages to keep the body heat in their cages, as well as board up the main sliding door for the winter to keep the drafts out. The barns walls are built pretty thick, but in the future an insulated bunny barn would definitely be nice!
All the bunnies are tucked in for the night with fresh warm water in their bottles. I fill them half full with warm water throughout the day so what they are drinking is warm going into their little bellies, and half full so I don't have to deal with fully frozen bottles and they thaw quicker that way. Usually none of the rabbits finish 4 ounces of water before they freeze again. All the small breeds have 8 oz bottles, all the large breeds have 16-24 oz.
That's all I have to report on tonight!
