Extreme Heat

[Carenm]

We are going to be in the high 90s and even maybe low 100s this week.

We have a mister set up, I have 2 gallon jugs with water in the freezer set to go and watermelon. They have a shade tarp over head in part of the run.


Any other suggestions?

You have a good plan. that's exactly what I would do. Just rotate your ice water during the day

We get a lot of extreme heat all summer (100-110 for months) I wet down the sand in their run at least once a day to cool it off in there. They like to "play in the sprinkler" just like kids. I also located their run on the North side of my house for maximum shade.

A kitty litter pan filled with 1 to 1.5" of water for birds to wade in. Ice in the waterer (provided it's a container waterer).

Not sure I have an extra for today but will pick one up for tomorrow. Good idea. We put ice in the waterer already too.


I think me and the kids will join them today under the water mister
