Rabbit advice needed ASAP

[jnicholes]

Hi everyone,

I am going to get straight to the point, we have a heat advisory for my area. Temps will reach around 100F.

I have a rabbit outside in a run. Do you think I should bring her inside, to keep her out of the heat during this advisory?

I would, if she doesn't have a cool spot to go to. But I don't have bunnies.

It would be best to bring her in, especially if she doesn't have shade.

Understood, thank you all.

Do you have power out where she is? If you do you could get her a little fan. They also make battery powered ones but the batteries usually don’t last long.

No power outage.

Definitely bring her inside. Rabbits don't take heat very well, and they can die from heat stroke pretty quickly.

Thank you all. I just got her inside.

Rabbits are not heat tolerant, but you know that. This is just FYI. You can take a gallon plastic milk jug, fill it with water, freeze it, and put it in the cage. Rabbits will wrap themselves around these jugs to keep themselves cool.

I definitely need to keep her inside this week.
