Rabbits can die from heatstroke, so it’s crucial that you know how to keep your bunny cool when the weather gets warmer. Since they are unable to sweat to regulate their body temperature, it’s particularly important to give them a helping hand.
Your rabbit’s environment shouldn’t exceed 77°F (25°C), and if it’s too hot, you might notice them breathe more rapidly, drink more than usual, pant, or have warmer ears. As well as keeping them cool, you’ll need to check their bottom multiple times throughout the day during the summer to ensure they don’t have flystrike, a parasitic condition where flies lay their eggs on another animal.
