🐰☀️ Keep Your Rabbits Cool This Summer! ☀️🐰

Summer heat can be dangerous for rabbits — they don’t tolerate high temperatures well! 🥵 Here are a few tips to help your herd stay safe and cool:

🌬️ Provide Shade & Ventilation – Keep their hutch, barn, or cage space out of direct sunlight and well-ventilated. Fans can help circulate air.

💧 Hydration is Key – Always have fresh, cool water available. 🧊

❄️ Cool Surfaces – Ceramic tiles or frozen water bottles give them a nice place to chill.

Keep an eye out for signs of heatstroke: lethargy, panting, drooling, etc. If you're concerned, contact your vet immediately! 🩺

Too many greens can upset the cecum’s balance.
Hay first. Greens in moderation. Always.

If you look online for a list of plants that are poisonous to goats, you might think you need to chop down trees and pull up dozens of weeds to keep your goats safe. Those lists can include things like oak and maple leaves, which my goats eat regularly because my farm is covered with them. The fact is that goats actually have a much higher tolerance for poisonous plants than horses and some other animals. So, what’s a conscientious goat owner to do?

In this episode, I’m talking to Kim Cassida from Michigan State University as we talk about the fact that many weeds can actually be very nutritious for goats while the number of plants poisonous to goats is actually pretty low.
