Rabbits are very sensitive to heat and can quickly overheat, leading to heatstroke. Temperatures above 80°F (27°C) can be dangerous, especially when combined with high humidity. Rabbits don't sweat and rely on their ears and breath to regulate body temperature, making them vulnerable to heat stress.

Older And Special Needs Rabbits Require Vigilance:

Be especially vigilant for senior buns (5 years +) and those that are overweight or have other health issues. Older and disabled rabbits tend to be to be more sedentary and may not get up to drink water if they are too hot. Dehydration or heat stroke can happen quickly.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Heatstroke in Rabbits:

Susceptibility:
Rabbits are prone to heatstroke because they lack efficient ways to cool down. They don't sweat and their dense fur traps heat.

Signs:
Lethargy, rapid breathing, drooling, hot ears, and even seizures can indicate heatstroke.

Prevention:
Provide a cool environment, access to shade and water, and consider using cooling mats or tiles.

Action:
If you suspect heatstroke, wrap your rabbit in a damp cloth and seek immediate veterinary care.
Keeping Rabbits

Cool:
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 55-72°F (12-23°C).

Indoor rabbits: Ensure your home is adequately cooled, especially during warmer months.

Outdoor rabbits: Provide shaded areas, access to cool surfaces, and consider a fan for air circulation.

Cooling methods: Use frozen water bottles wrapped in towels, cooling mats, or misting the rabbit's ears with cool water.

Important Considerations:

Monitor rabbits closely: On hot days, check your rabbit frequently for signs of overheating.

Avoid direct sunlight: Limit exposure to direct sunlight, especially during peak heat hours.

Consult a vet: If you have concerns about your rabbit's health or temperature, consult with your veterinarian.

Our Blue Mini Rex doe Fisherbrook's Cloud won BOB at the Fibber McGee Memorial show last month. The paperwork has been sent to ARBA for her Grand Champion certificate. Pictured Andi Fisher with ARBA judge Alan Rafferty and Cloud.

We did well at last weekend's show. It was a good day for our Blues. Our senior doe Cloud earned her 2nd leg under judge Doug King. It was a delight to see Doug again after so many years. Our junior Blue buck Sapphire, earned his first leg under judge Tara Dorler. Not bad at all for his 2nd show! Our Chocolate doe Smooch won her variety in both shows but this little lady needs some competition to have any chance at legs. All of these rabbits are Fisherbrook born.
