7 dead rabbits? Help

[bossynbella]

I would say heat stroke too. We lost 3 young (4month old) bunnies in June and 7 of my 10 day old Siamese satins, we almost lost three of our adults, DH had changed the water at 2 I got home at 5 and usually went right out but that day I got online for a while first. We went out at about 6:30 and before I had gone 3 ' from the house I heard one of the 4mth olds scream. When I got over there one was dead already the one that screamed died a few minutes later and the third was dead by morning. All of them had wet mouths and noses, and couldn't stand. Our Holland Lop buck made it but it was touch and go for days.
Since then we moved them up to the shaded corner of our yard and on super hot days give them pop bottles filled with water and froze over night, sometimes we have to change the bottles three times a day! As well as replenishing there water bottles as even in the shade the water gets hot fast.
Good luck hope you don't loose anymore!

I am so sorry you lost your bunnies. it is so hard to lose our friends. I lost 2 on the same day this summer to heat stroke, it was sad.
