Bunny bedding
This will be my first winter with the buns and wanted to know other peoples ideas on bunny bedding.
The buns live in my bedroom, so not mega cold but I wanted them to have something snuggly for when the temp really drops! I have an abundance of puppy fleeces (which Lilly takes great delight in digging up ready for. Jasper to piddle on ) I have a bunny fleece bed and a fleecy bunny, moses basket type thing, but jasper just wees on everything
I have their cage on an off cut of lino that goes to the end of their pen area, which will I suppose get too cold to lie on. Had to get this as Jasper has piddled once too many times on my carpet, bad bun bun! Lol
Anyhoo, what does everyone else do?

Molly and Junior have a strip of Vet Bed in their pen, and they do not wee on it

Re: Bunny bedding
The Vet Bed is cozy. If you put your hand where they've been lying you can feel it is warm

Re: Bunny bedding
Daisy had a snugly fleece blanket and a heat pad. I wouldn't worry about them too much if they are inside hunni.
Perhaps try a heat pad? If they are cold they could snuggle up to it?

Re: Bunny bedding
Dougal does not lay on anything , he sleeps on the carpet or on his cardboard castle. We just got him a gorgeous tent shape dog bed, just right size for him, it is cute but he just bobs in and out of it and climbs on it too .

Willow had one of these once. She was terrified of it - not only would she not go in, but she would actually creep around the area of the room it was in like it was going to spring out and eat her at any secondBugsBunny wrote:Dougal does not lay on anything , he sleeps on the carpet or on his cardboard castle.

Re: Bunny bedding
Apart from my big comfy bed, Binky has taken to sleeping on a cushion on our sofa (now known as Binky's sofa and Binky's cushion LOL!)

Re: Bunny bedding
Rory is a strange one. He may do a DBF on the carpet, but to really sleep he seems to prefer a hard surface. We keep our house cool at 68oF and his 'room' is probably close to 65oF. He has a cardboard box to sleep in and a box with hay. He sleeps on the cold tile and uses the hay as a litter box. We tried a soft blankie but he ignored it.

Re: Bunny bedding
Me buns are outside, charlie sits on his own (no wife) so i put a heat pad in his run so hes not sitting freezing his but off, floppy & wife spend all there time inside now, rosey & smokey wont go inside no matter how cold it is so I do worry about them, I put a heat pad in the run, the other 1s cover is in the wash or would put both out, they huddle together, their getting the hutch back since lost the piggies once its scrubbed out, they seem to like that not there playhouse, so will fill the top with straw in the hopes they dont sit outside all the time. Think they bit soft in the head

Re: Bunny bedding
DBF=Dead Bunny Flop When they just flop out and look so dead that if you didn't know better you would think them quite dead. Every bunny we've had has done these. They breathe so shallow you cannot tell. And they will oft times not respond to you immediately so you assume the worst. I think when they don't respond like that they are really laughing at us inside.Thumper2001 wrote:Pardon me if I'm being thick, what the heck is DBF? ^gentl wrote:......
I thought I backed my wheelchair over Rory one day. He was flopped out against the couch with his eyes all rolled back. I thought I'd killed him. No response to words, hand claps, nudging with my toe. A slight shake of the fenugreek crunchie bag was all it took. I was in tears because I thought I'd killed him.

Ah, yes! I'm familiar with the flop, just not the term DBF.gentl wrote:DBF=Dead Bunny Flop When they just flop out and look so dead that if you didn't know better you would think them quite dead.
