Do the legs get hot too? I guess I’d just be concerned that if the metal (or iron?) legs get too hot, they could burn themselves, but as long as they always have the option of leaving the area, it should be okay.

My grandma’s cats will lay in front of the fireplace. As long as the bunnies don’t overheat or go near the fire, they should be okay

That’s a gorgeous house rabbit portrait. I just love this picture! It’s like a painting.
My rabbit Mops used to sleep right on top of my heating vents… I used to put a tile over top of them for him.

Totally beautiful shot!!

I agree-maybe block off the legs just in case one binkies into the hot leg…but as long as they can move away when they are too warm…I think all animals love to curl up by the fire, or in a sunspot. Rupert is always laying by the heat vent at our house Not quite as picturesque

My bunnies have always loved heat sources… they used to sit like right beside our standalone oil heater in our previous house. These days, they tend to sit in front of the heat vent. (And they always search for sunlight to sit in)

Lol, never made sense to me, as if I were them, I think I’d be too hot with all that fur. X_x

Dutchess likes to sit by the fireplace for a while, then she’ll move on a few feet away if she gets warm.

I’m a bit surprised he likes the heat, too.

Just a bit of trivia fact because I researched cats for my job lately: a cat has their body temperature fall when they sleep during the day, so they pick a warm or sunny spot to lie in as they anticipate being colder when they nap.

I don’t believe this is true for bunnies or other animals, but I am not certain.

Well, you’re not alone
