It's a hot one. Like 7 inches from the midday sun.
°°PREVENT OVERHEATING°°
>>Air conditioning if temps are over 77° F (25° C). Oscillating fans if no air conditioning.
>>Trim away excess fur — ‘puppy’ haircuts for fuzzy bunnies.
>>Relocate bunny to a cooler part of the house.
>>Keep out of sunlight.
>>Mist bunny’s ears — evaporating water will help with cooling.
>>Set up a fan to blow over a bowl of cold water or a wet sheet.
>>Place frozen water bottles near bunny.
>>Freeze ceramic tiles for 15 minutes for bunny to lie on.
>>Wrap a frozen 2L bottle with a towel as a bolster to lean against.
>>Add ice to bunny’s water crock.
°°RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION°°
>>Fast, shallow breathing.
>>Wetness around the nose.
>>Listlessness.
>>Hot ears.
>>Tossing head back while breathing rapidly from open mouth.
These symptoms indicate an EMERGENCY. Take immediate action! Relocate to a cool place, keep out of sun, dampen ears with cool water, give cold water to drink, and call an experienced exotics veterinarian for further instructions.
