well,when i had rabbits at home my dad built a cage.it was isolated and he put tiles inside as well.i used a lot of st row to keep the rabbits warm.where i live now ,my house owner has rabbits as well.she covers the open part of the cage in the wintertime during the night with plastic,so the rabbits don t get cold.
hope it helps you!

if i rember correctly, celcius is based on the frezing point of water, so 0 would be ice, i dont think they like being as cold as ice, i would imagine 75F to be a bit on the cold side, but then again, i live in a desert.

Why is she moving outside? I would be afraid that that would be far too cold. The problem isn’t in the temperature itself (most rabbits that are housed only outside can do alright provided that the have enough straw to keep them warm and continue to have access to fresh, unfrozen water), but in the fur on the rabbit. By now, most rabbits already have at least half their winter coat if not more (really depends on the climate of the area). If it’s already that cold out, and your bunny’s been inside this entire time, do not put her out at all–she’ll freeze literally to death. The House Rabbit Society has said on their pages that a rabbit should not be outside if it’s under 40 degrees Farenheit. I would try checking out their website to see if you can find anything about when not to move a bunny outside. You can find them at:
