Help,i have a 6 month old dwarf lop bunny named Charlie,and we have have a lush hutch out in the garden with the separate sleeping compartment,but he has decided not to use it in the evenings,this means that when it rains which it does a lot up here in Scotland,he ends up getting wet and cold so we have to take him in every evening to avoid him catching a cold or worse,can anybody shed some light on why he's acting up like this,any ideas what i can do to make him want to use his bed! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Jay! x ↓

Hello Jay,
There could be a few reasons for why Charlie is not using his hide a way box. Please tell me more as to the set up of his hutch? Does he have bedding in his hide a way box? Is the floor solid or wire? What material is his box made of (wood/plastic)? Is his box heated? Can he stand or turn around in his box? Some times the location of the hutch is a factor, if the hutch/cage is in a location that feels unsafe to him he may refuse to sleep in his box. ↑
