Overweight rabbits seem more susceptible to heat stress \u2014 a good motivation to trim Bun down before the hottest months of summer. Cooling tips:<\/b> \u2022 Freeze water in 1- or 2-liter size soda bottles and keep in the cage as a giant ice cube for bunny to lean against. Keep a couple of bottles rotating in the freezer. \u2022 Dampen a towel and drape it over one end of the cage with a fan blowing gently on it, enough for good air circulation but not so it\u2019s drafty. \u2022 Gently mist rabbits\u2019 ears and fur with clean water. \u2022 Place a square or two of ceramic tile or marble in the cage. It will remain cooler than the air temperature and will be a cool place for Bun to rest. \u2022 Always have plenty of fresh drinking water available. \u2022 If your rabbit spends time outdoors, be sure to provide shade and keep him out of the direct sun in the hottest times of day. \u2022 If your rabbit becomes exposed to too much heat, seems listless, is not eating or acting normally, get him to a veterinarian immediately.
