Winter with Pets

     So what to do when it gets cold out? You just love taking your iguana for walks on a summer day or letting your bunny hop around in your backyard, but the 4 feet of snow seems to cause a problem. Luckily there are lots of animals that don't really know the difference between the changes of seasons other than what the windows look like and more blankets on the humans. However, those like my bunny, Wafer, who are used to going outside every other couple of days, get kindof anxious. 

      Luckily, you can give your smaller mammilian friends a winterization without losing their hipsterism, as seen below. 

     Lolz. Well on a more serious note, you really can bundle up your bunny and toss them out in the snow! Probably not quite so literally, but there are sweaters or shirts that you can buy for them (or make!) to keep a furry animal warm during a rare romp in the snow. Different animals will react in different ways. Some bunnies hate the snow while others thoroughly enjoy it. You just have to make sure that you keep track of them, because a bunny suddenly tunneling under the snow will be hard to...retrieve. It's probably not a good idea to keep them out for more than 10 minutes, though.

     Unfortunately, not all animals can neccessarily tolerate the cold. Reptiles or other cold-blooded animals could easily freeze out in the snow. Even mammals that are used to warmer weather (hedgehogs, primates, etc) should probably not go out either, unless you can fit a cozy sweater over them. :)

     Now here are some more cute pictures of pet bunnies keeping warm or playing in the snow. ^~^

     On that note, have a great rest of the week!
