Rabbits in cold weather

22 11:26:03

Question
My rabbit is mostly kept outdoors, but I will bring him in when it is very cold.  What is the coldest temperature I should leave the rabbit out in before I bring him in?

Thank you very much for answering this question.

Answer
I know people who leave them outside all year round, but, when the water bottles and bowls start freezing solid, I think it is time to bring them in.  Make sure you don't go directly from cold to hot, but bring them into an unheated room to acclimatize, then to the rest of the house.
