Common Sense

How much common sense do rabbits have?

We have a pure white lion head male with blue eyes called Snowball, who I
must say we absolutely love to bits.
Normally when the weather is bad before we go to work we keep Snowbs and
Ozzie the female guinea pig inside. They live together quite happily.

Well yesterday the weather started off fine (we live in the south east of
England) so my husband put them out in their enclosure which has a small
hutch that they go into when it starts to turn nasty so!!!!! there is always
somewhere they can go to keep safe and warm away when the elements turn
nasty.
However, not long after they were put out the weather turned nasty raining,
sleety type of thing and so I became worried. Not about Ozzie because I knew
she would go in but him I had a gut feeling he would sit outside and I was
right. I got home at about 3.30pm looked through the hedge and there he was
looking as miserable as hell soaking wet and cold. I had to then try and
scoop him up which was a bit difficult because he was cold wet and bad
tempered and didn't want to play ball. I eventually got hold of him wrapped
him up in a towel and tried to get him warm and dry. I even put the hair
dryer on him. I put him back in his main house after a long cuddle and went
to find Ozzie and I was right she was buried down safe and warm with lots of
hay in the little hutch. So Nick and I think he must have been waiting for
us outside for at least 5 1/2 hours in that dreadful weather. I love him so
much. He's still only young, he was born on June 2nd 2005. Kate

about as much sense as humans that put their animals outside in the
winter.... :o)

sorry but mother nature never does what you expect so you would be much
better off keeping them inside during the winter months.
