☀️ Hot weather can be dangerous for rabbits - and heatstroke can become serious very quickly.
Rabbits are sensitive to high temperatures and can struggle to cool themselves down, especially in hutches, sheds, conservatories or outdoor spaces that trap heat. Planning ahead can make a huge difference.
Simple ways to help keep rabbits cooler include:
🌤️ Keeping them out of direct sunlight
🌬️ Providing shade and good ventilation
💧 Offering fresh water and checking it often
🧊 Using wrapped frozen water bottles or cool tiles
🏠 Moving them indoors or to a cooler space if needed
🥬 Offering water-rich greens as part of their normal diet
It’s also important to know the warning signs of heatstroke. Watch for rapid breathing, drooling, weakness, red or hot ears, lethargy, confusion, collapse or seizures.
