The temperature in here gets higher than today regularly but it's normally really dry. Today has been very humid so I guess that must be why. Everyone needs to know the signs of overheating! Clover was visibly shaking and her ears were hot. We cooled her by turning on the AC and putting an ice pack on her. You could also touch the ice pack to their ears to help or spray their ears with a little mist of water then blow a fan on it to cool them down.

Sorry that a few morons are claiming your rabbit is obese even though there's literally no way to tell from this angle (have any of you ever seen a domestic rabbit loafing?).

Anyway, my buns also love it when I put ice cubes in her water bowl! Cold water does wonders for their tiny bodies!

Clover says that's a great idea too! She licked the frozen bottle and says it feels nice :)
