SHOULD I BRING MY OUTDOOR RABBIT INSIDE TO LET HER WARM UP DURING COLD WEATHER ?
While it is best for rabbits to always be housed indoors , some bunnies do reside outside . It is very tempting , when the weather gets colder , to allow rabbits to spend some time indoors to “ give them a break ” from the cold . Unfortunately , this is much like a person bundled up in a winter coat , walking into the house , and sitting down for dinner without removing their parka . After dinner , this same person then leaves the warm house to brave the elements once again . It does not take long for a serious chill to take hold . This is what happens when a rabbit , whose body has adapted to the variations in the weather and that can cope with the cold , is brought into the house . Their body is unable to compensate for the external warmth , becomes overheated , and then succumbs to the cold once returned to the outdoor environment . Pneumonia is a common outcome .
Rabbits that live outdoors must be protected from wind , rain , sleet and snow . However , rapidly changing outdoor temperatures are a dangerous scenario . A viable compromise may be to create a space within a garage for the rabbit ’ s hutch during the cold winter months .
Common sense can help you keep pets out of harm ’ s way during the upcoming winter months . Consider the consequences as our furry family members face the cold .

Alligator gars can tolerate salt water and can be found in large rivers , reservoirs , and coastal bays . In East Texas , they ’ re found in Cypress Creek , the Sabine , Neches , Angelina , and Trinity Rivers , and in mainstream reservoirs including Caddo , Sam Rayburn , Toledo Bend , and Livingston . Along the coast , they can be found in nearly every river system draining into the Gulf of Mexico and in every coastal bay system in Texas including Galveston , Corpus Christi , Matagorda , San Antonio , and Laguna Madre — and within the inter-coastal canal system .
The alligator gar has become a popular sport fish in Texas . The season is in the spring and summer . With the exception of the Falcon International Reservoir , the statewide daily bag limit is 1 . Gars must be less than 48 inches to be retained and you must report your catch within 24 hours using the My Texas Hunt Harvest mobile app .
Alligator gars stand as a testament to the resilience of ancient species . With its impressive size , unique adaptations , and vital role in aquatic ecosystems , this remarkable fish deserves our admiration and protection . As we continue to explore and understand the complexities of our natural world , let us advocate for the conservation of the alligator gar , ensuring that future generations can appreciate its uniqueness and ecological significance .
