Part of it depends on the breed, for example my angora's would get uncomfortable at 80 and when I had english lops or large earred breeds around 90 is when I would worry.
It really depends on the humidity and shade, etc....
I use a swamp cooler in the summer if it is over 95 on the rabbits I have now, but mostly frozen water bottles work if it is really bad which is rare here, I will ice the outside of their ears to cool them off quicker and make sure they have cool water to drink.
But when we had netherlands with little ears, I would say they were closer to the angora temps. That has just been my experience.
mine all have little ears. what is a swamp cooler?
I did not know what a swamp cooler was til I moved out West. Like an Air Conditioner but since Humidity is so low here it cools the air without removing Humidity. Nice name. huh? I LOVE EVERYONES BUNNY Pictures!
