  Panda is my first bunny. I did a search and found info about how cold they can stand but not how to keep them warm. I keep my house at 66 in the winter but for some reason the animal room stays around 63. I give the other animals (rats) fleece in a box and they sleep in here. should i give her a box with a fleece blanket?

  It wouldn’t hurt. She’ll probably be fine with the cooler temperatures and she’s inside out of the elements and wind and that makes a huge difference just being protected inside.

  We keep our house around 65 or colder during the winter and the rabbits don’t have a problem with it – they sleep out in the open as usual and don’t see to be trying to get warmer.

  It sounds like an ideal temperature actually. You could give her a box and fleece for her entertainment though! 😉

  Many domestic rabbits live outside all winter long, keeping indoor house bunnies is a new phenomenom. They actually tolerate winter cold better than summer heat when living outdoors in hutches (obviously depends on local climate, I’m talking about NE USA.) 63F is perfectly fine, porbably down right comfortable for a bunny.

  Similar question – I’m not sure of the temperature in my apartment but sometimes it feels quite cold, even in my room. We get heating turned on in the winter, but it’s always two weeks late, and I know we walk around in many layers during the winter just because it’s cold. Since I can’t turn the heat up (it’s public heating and centrally controlled; thanks China!), what else can I do?
  
  At least I don’t have an apartment that gets too hot from the public heating – I know some people who have to keep their windows open just to feel normal, when it’s below freezing outside!
