Question
Hello, my name is Christina and i don't know if i can get a bunny now. The reason is that im afraid that if i get a bunny, it will freeze in the winter and die. Is this true? Can you name some specific breeds that can be outdoors or must be outdoor? I The only choice for me is outdoors. Please answer my question, i need to know by tomorrow, because then i am building the hutch.

Thankyou. :)

Answer
Hello Christina !
Well it is good that you are concerned about the welfare of you rabbit in the future.
Without knowing what part of the  country you live in its hard for me to really help. if it gets below ( 0 ) in the winter where you live you will need to protect your rabbit from the wind and moisture you can put lots of straw in the hutch and depending on the size of rabbit the hutch should be about 30 inches deep and 48 " long and 24" tall. most breeds will be OK in this type of weathr. some breeds are Champagne d` argents. Californians, Dutch, White new Zealands, mini lops, are some breeds that do well.
good luck with your plans...
