I'm getting a rabbit soon and my parents will only let it stay outside. I have a double storey hutch on the way which I believe will be large enough for it to live in.
What I'm wondering is, is it okay for my rabbit to be outside full time in Western Australia?

Hi, yes they should be fine living outside. Hutches are quite sturdy and are insulated quite well from the wood. In warmer months just put frozen water bottles in their hutch. In winter months just make sure to add extra hay and bedding to the hutch and cover the hutch up with some fleece and tarp. In winter if it does get too cold you could buy a small pet carrier and compromise with your parents, for example you'll let them stay in their hutch all day (plus out of cage time ofc) but when it's night time you can put them in the carrier and bring them inside and then in the morning put them back in their hutch. thats what I do with my rabbits and guinea pigs and it isn't a problem at all since pet carriers don't take up a ton of space. hope everything goes well with the Rabbits.
