*HOW TO KEEP RABBITS COOL IN HOT WEATHER*

Did you know that rabbits don’t have the ability to sweat or pant to bring down their body temperature? This means it’s harder for them to cool themselves down and is the main reason rabbits are in more danger of experiencing heat stroke than people. These summer months can get unbearably hot and heat stroke can be fatal for your bunny, so we’ve put together some tips on how to keep rabbits cool in hot weather.

Do you know the signs to look out for?
• Stretched out or limp bunny, usually with their feet sprawled outwards
• Confused and drowsy
• Dribbling
• Panting or laboured breath
• Tongue hanging out
• Decrease in eating habits

If you believe that your bunny shows the symptoms These next few steps can help you both prevent and lay off the chances of your bunny developing heat stroke or becoming overheated.

*Shade*
Direct sunlight will cause your bunny to overheat. It is essential that your bunny rabbit has some shade and a cool space to lie in. A rabbit run is ideal for hot weather as it lets your bunny enjoy the sun but still has plenty of shade for when it starts to get a little bit too hot. If you can it would benefit your bunny much more to bring it indoors; people’s homes tend to be much cooler than hutches.

*Frozen Water Bottles*
Make sure to keep some bottles half-filled with water in the freezer. If you wrap a frozen water bottle in a towel/cloth and place it in you rabbit’s hutch it provides a cool atmosphere for your bunny to lie next to. Not only does this help cool them down it can also help them stay hydrated as many rabbits enjoy licking the condensation from the bottle...

Grooming
Having excess hair can make things extremely heated for your bunny rabbit. Grooming your bunny with a rabbit comb or brush once a day should keep your rabbit from becoming too uncomfortable in his fur.

We’ve had many questions on our rabbit hides and the method we used, so here are our steps.
I used the salt and alum method. Not a true tan, it's a pickle, and the hides still require smoking if you intend for them to get wet. It requires 2 gallons of lukewarm water, 1 cup of pickling salt and 1 cup of aluminium sulphate. Mix until dissolved and place the clean hides in (by clean I mean rinsed of any blood or debris and they do not need to be dry to go into the mixture). Stir once or twice a day for 2-4 days, making sure the skin is always in contact with the solution.

After 2-4 days, we found 3.5 days ideal, remove the hides one at a time, wring them out and flesh. Remove any access fatty tissue or membrane. Once all the hides are fleshed, add another cup of sulfa and another cup of salt to the mixture, stir until dissolved. Add the hides back into the mixture and stir twice a day for at least 7 days.

After the 7th day, I start to take them out a few at a time (I usually do around 10 at a time and so when I take them out for the last step I'll take out 2-4 depending on size) wring them out, then put them in a sink or tub and rinse, I rinse them twice. Using a dish detergent wash the fur and then wring them out again. Hang them to dry and once they start drying, start to work them by breaking the hide.

They need to be ALMOST dry to be successfully worked or you will just be wasting your time working a wet hide and it will take forever. I usually blow dry the fur first, then wait for the skin to start drying a bit. When you break the hide, you want to pull and stretch in different directions (I use the back of a chair to run the skin side of the hide over). The skin will start to dry and turn white as you stretch it. Once it's completely white and dry, you're finished.

Some people use neatsfoot oil to work into the hide as they break it but I hate the smell it left behind and my hides without came out just as nice. The oil might add a bit of waterproofing but I don't think it would work as well as just smoking the hides when you're done if you so choose.

If at any point you want to take a break before finishing, I put the hide in a plastic bag and into the fridge. It keeps the hide cool and from drying out. If at any point the hide begins to dry or you forget it out and it gets hard, just rewet those areas and rework.

Pictures of what the skin looks like after it's been worked and finished.

Enjoy!
