☀️🐰 When the weather gets hot, it’s natural to want to cool your rabbit down… but please don’t bathe or wet them.
Although it may seem like the right thing to do, bathing or soaking a rabbit can actually do more harm than good. Rabbits become easily stressed when wet, their thick fur takes a long time to dry, and they can quickly become chilled or even go into shock.
Instead, help your rabbit stay cool by:
🌿 Providing plenty of shade and good ventilation
💧 Ensuring fresh, cool water is always available
🧊 Offering cool surfaces such as ceramic or marble tiles
❄️ Using wrapped frozen water bottles or ice packs nearby (never directly on your rabbit)
🏡 Keeping them indoors or in the coolest part of their environment during the hottest hours of the day
If your rabbit shows signs such as panting, lethargy, weakness, loss of appetite, or feels unusually hot, seek veterinary advice immediately, as heatstroke is a medical emergency.
📩 If you’re worried about your rabbit during the summer months or you’re unsure how best to keep them cool, don’t hesitate to send us a message. We’re always happy to help and guide fellow rabbit owners.
Let’s work together to keep our bunnies safe, comfortable, and healthy all summer long. ❤️🐇
