hi
its actually really hot today for a change!

its good for me but not good for my bunny though! he is really hot at the moment, so does anyone have any ideas to keep him cool?

his hutch isnt in direct sunlight but its not in the shade cuz we dont have any shade at all in the garden, it is also just as hot inside as it is outside so bringing him inside wont be any better!

help please!
 
Also ceramic tiles are nice for them to lay down on and keep cool......... I've even been known to revert to using dinner plates to help them :lol: Does the trick but they do get a bit hairy and pooed on, be sure to wash them well afterwards :lol:
 
Alfie was really hot earlier in his hutch, its not in direct sunlight either but some shines through the trees!

I put him in the run under a big tree and put a dish of water down which he guzzled (i think its nicer for them to drink from a dish then the bottles when its so hot!)

Also, get an old evion bottle fill it halfway with water, freeze it and put it into the hutch.
