Can I use blankets as bedding for outdoor rabbits?

Fleece blankets can provide comfort but don’t insulate well on their own. They work best as a supplementary layer in an insulated hutch.

How often should I replace the bedding in winter?

Check daily for wet or soiled spots and replace as needed. Fully replace the bedding at least once a week to maintain freshness and insulation.

Is hay or straw better for winter bedding?

Straw is better for insulation, while hay provides comfort and foraging opportunities. A combination of the two works best.

How do I prevent moisture buildup in the hutch?

Ensure the hutch is weatherproof, clean soiled bedding daily, and use absorbent materials like straw or wood shavings.
