How hot is too hot for a rabbit? over 100 degress here......

[LindsayB]

thanks for the fast replies! I just put him back outside...we're having some pretty well needed thunderstorms here and the temps are back down to 89 degrees. I have a wire cat condo we don't use so I may make that his summertime home inside with us. We'll see what the the DH says. This bunny has had a rough start in life and isn't really very friendly with people but I sure love him!

The indoor cat condo sounds perfect.

Cute bun, too.

Since rabbits cool themselves off thru their ears I'd say you're going to need to bring him inside for the summer, unless you can hook up a mister or swamp cooler for your porch (Is it an enclosed porch?)

Mine are usually fine here in NY up to about 90, at that point I start checking mine and will wet ears if its too bad, I check mine about every half hour or so if its abouve 90, since it doesn't take long for them to go down from heat stroke.

This is our plan for the really hot days too. Until we can get a swamp cooler for the garage.
