Never use straw or hay just shavings suits them fine . All of them are back together in the big hutch in the shed so there pretty sheltered . As for the water bottles a put them in thick socks and have plenty spares just incase . I will be starting the season in the next week or two got to go and clear sum cover on one of the permissions as farmer been seeing rabbits kicking about so need to get that sorted and keep him happy .

Why should your preparation change apart from checking they have access to fresh clean water ?. if there in a clean draught free hutch what needs to change ?.

When I kept ferrets their bedding area consisted of sawdust on the floor, an old football with one patch and the rubber inner removed, that then had an old 1mx50cm fleece blanket, halved, one half ripped into strips and the other half complete, that along with paper shreds and they would make them selves a nice warm nest,

The rubber mats while easier to clean arent enough on their own so ive gone back to using sawdust

last year I used the fibre from inside some old pillows

I was a bit concerned that it could get caught in their

claws but it was fine .Itkept them warm and easy to

replace

Shaving on the floor of the court and a few boxes full of hay. Never had to many problems with ticks and the like. Vet bed is brilliant stuff i might try the stinkers with it.

Just put my jill in with my hob and that big bugger will keep them warm. My hutch is inside a shed so no damp or wind. Ive just upped their bedding with shavings and shredded paper
