Giant rabbit care – desperately need help?

Hi ive found my dream rabbit, a British Giant, and i desperately want to buy him , but he is advertised in the pet store as a house rabbit. Ive read online that can adapt to living outdoors.
Could he live outside in a hutch, with a thermal cover on the hutch and have a bed of sawdust and straw to keep him warm or would this be detrimental to his health? please help!

Hi there.

Just to let you know, I suggest you fully check him over prior to buying him as pet store animals come from animal mills and are sometimes not treated properly.

In answer to your question, an outside hutch with a thermal cover is perfect. Though, please do not use sawdust as bedding – it can get up your bunny’s nose and in their eyes. I suggest you use dust-extracted wood shavings instead!

He should be absolutely fine outside

I hope I helped you out – good luck with your new friend!
