Hot Weather News

It's here again, the hot weather and although this is good news for most, it can be a distressing time for your bunny. Here are a few tips to help your pet keep their cool when all around are losing theirs......

  1. Fill a plastic pop bottle with water and freeze it. Wrap it in a towel and place it in your bunny's hutch/cage/run. This will allow him to laze up against it and keep him cool.
  2. Keep all hutches and runs out of direct sunlight, or if this is difficult, you MUST provide some element of shade in the run or cage or hutch etc..
  3. Don't leave your bunny in the conservatory or sun room whilst you are at work through the day
  4. Always ensure the rabbit has a constant supply of cool, fresh water available. Check those bottles to make sure they are working properly. Refill throughout the day.
  5. Provide water based veg such as carrots and celery etc.. to ensure plenty of fluids are available
Just a few tips, but sure to help keep your pet rabbit comfortable.

and most of all, ENJOY the heat.......
