How long should I let rose out Empty How long should I let rose out

Ive been letting rose out for a few hours some days since she has had the babies, but she is going stir crazy on the days I dont let her out, I keep her in incase she is not feeding the babies so they can get a good feed all day when ever.
Id like to leave rose out all day in the garden and bring her in at night bout 8-10 hours in total, what you recon? you think this would be ok??

I dunno.. I dont like her in this hutch inside as its smaller, not realy a rabbit hutch tbh but its the only one i can get inside.

Buns only feed their kits twice daily so she souls be ok to be out. Perhaps if there is a cold day or you are worried about them then pop her back in there x x

As Katie has said above, in the wild bunnies only feed their babies morning and night. The rest of the time, they snuggle down in their scrape and just wait for mum to come back.

The only thing to worry about is the difference in temperature between being outside and being indoors. If she is usually indoors she won't have developed a thick winter coat that outdoor rabbits normally make about now. Just be sensible about how long she is out and in what kind of weather.
