[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 64703, member: 1991"] We had a rabbit that seemed to be badly affected by the heat one hot summer night. It lived in our bathroom but the heat was so bad that even there it wasn't cool enough. We were woken at 3 am by bunny going crazy, running wildly around the bathroom and not even noticing when I went into the room. I grabbed bunny and threw him in the shower and turned it on, cold. He quietened down fairly quickly then sat licking himself dry, quietly, then fell asleep. He had plenty of water to drink, so he wasn't dehydrated. The idea of the hose left on on mist has me cringing, with our Sydney water restrictions! But if you can get away with it... a suggestion, though - wet down a hessian sack and drape it over his kennel. Keep the sack wet and it will keep the kennel much cooler (Coolgardie Safe principle). The frozen water containers is also a good idea. If you freeze water in an ice cream container, then put the giant ice block in his water dish, he can lick it to cool off. Marg [/QUOTE]
