I just bought two mini rex does, they are 10 wks old. They are currently sharing a hutch (half three walls and a solid door, half yard) We put a bunch of hay in the box for them to cuddle with.

It is currently 33 degrees out. Are they too young for the cold? Should I bring them inside? Will them together and with lots of hay be okay for the night?
 
Welcome to RT first off:)!
2nd have they been outside before?? I have 6 week old out side and it's coming close to frost and they are fine:) rabbits do handle cold better than hot:) but I would keep an eye out and ya food and water in a hutch I would think they will be fine:)

They were in an insulated shed with their litter mates and mom before. I Have a 10 wk old buck that is in my inside cage because I figured the two does could cuddle and keep each other warm. I have a 7 yr old buck in my other hutch. ( He is too old to breed to the does when they're old enough right?) We are starting 4H, all the bunnies have papers and parents are ARBA registered.
 
Well imo I think they would be fine:) I mean new rabbits I get go outside (obviously checking on them) i mean mini rex are pretty fluffy little buggers and at 10weeks I think they would be fine especially in a hutch but if you feel they need to come in then I would suggest doing so because alway safer than sorry lol.
I am not quite sure on age of breeding bucks but I would imagine it would be ok to do so I mean if he's interested I would think why not lol.
Sounds like you got quite the nice stock going
