There are quite the number of breeds up here domestic and wild. They do well at all temps. I have temps that go down to 30 below ambient and wind chills to 70 and 80 below here and mine did fine as long as I kept them out of the drafts. I raised the mini rex rabbits for a while. There are those that have the californians and the flemish giants up here now and they do well also. Hoping as soon as I get settled that I can set up a rabbitry again. I got rid of mine in favor of chickens for the time being anyway.Wow! I did not know that rabbits could withstand freezing temps, especially temps below zero. That is a great piece of knowledge. Maybe I ought to look into getting a few rabbits. What is it about the draft that can kill them?
We put bowls in the pens in the winter instead of the water bottles that way you could put really hot water in there and it would stay warm for longer because the rabbits would snuggle up to it.what du do about the water bottles freezing ?
We had two sets of bottles ... After a freezing night we would change the bottles out and bring the others in to defrost.what du do about the water bottles freezing ?
