Title: Hot Rabbit!
Post by: Pete on May 24, 2012, 06:48:19 PM
I'm a little worried that my rabbit is going to overheat - he's panting like mad today - making me nervous...  :(

Anyone got any tips?

Just keep him in the shade and make sure he gets lots of water. Our dogs the same, he can't be bothered to move.

That's the worrying thing, his hutch is in the shade 90% of the day - just maybe the first hour it catches some sun.

We keep him topped up with fresh water, but he hardly touches it.

Poor little fella's panting for England...  :(

Put a fan blowing on the rabbit but not to close to make it too cold.

Whoops.... it should have been a pic of a bunny relaxing in in a bowl of water.... :-[

Anyways, I've since learned that is a bad idea unless the water is warm - bunnies don't like cold water.
