What is the highest temp a bunny can live in?

Wild rabbits are adapted to wherever they live, so how much heat a wild rabbit can take before it starts to suffer depends on its habitat.

Pet rabbits come from the western Mediterranean region, where it never gets very hot.

Bunnies start to get uncomfortable at 23 degrees Celsius. Make sure your rabbit always has access to the shade and fresh cold water. Also make sure there's lots of good air flow in the area.

At 25 degrees Celsius, you need to watch out for heat stress. There are things you can do to help the bunny stay cool. For example:

• Chill ceramic or stone tiles in the freezer for the rabbit to lie on
• Freeze a block of ice in a jug and set it down near the rabbit -- even if the rabbit doesn't want to lay against it, it will cool the air as it evaporates
• Drape a cold wet towel near the rabbit and aim a fan at the towel -- a fan alone doesn't much help rabbits because they don't really sweat, but the fan aimed at the towel will cool the nearby air as the water evaporates
• Mist the rabbit's ears with cold water
• Provide lots of cold water to drink
• Maximize air flow and shade in the area
