Rabbits and weather

22 11:22:20

Question
Our rabbits are in an open run next to the house with the hutch door open so they can go in and out freely. When its raining should we be making sure they go away? As often they will sit under the hutch or run around still. I have heard they do not react well to cold and wet.

Answer
I would keep them in when it is cold, they can take wet but the combination could make them ill.
