1. Add ice cubes to bunny's drinking water to keep it cooler for longer
2. Add a few frozen water bottles for your bunny to lie next to. Wrap in towel or pillow case for a less intense effect
3. Create lots of shade, get creative! Umbrellas can be useful, create extra cardboard hides. Don't forget that wood absorbs heat so it's best to avoid if you can
4. Create a breeze via fan / wind tunnel. Merlin has enjoyed me fanning him with one hand and stroking him with the other!
5. Sprinkle water to fresh vegetables
6. Remove excess bunny hair
7. Add a ceramic / marble title to your bun's favourite place to sit / lie down. You can also had in a soaked brick or carpet tile to help the air coold down.
8. Mist your bunny's ears with water.
9. Limit exercise time to morning and evening hours when it's cooler and more comfortable. Merlin enjoys the shaded area of the garden in the morning, where the dew is still clinging to the grass.
10. If it's cooler inside than out then bring them inside! Do this before the hottest weather occur as this will help you avoid exposing the rabbit to sudden changes in temperature. Rabbits are highly sensitive to sudden temperature change. They become acclimated to heat and don't need to come inside only during the heat of the day.
11. Add extra water bowls / bottles. Keep them out of the sun. Insulate your water bottles.
12. Create a sand or soil dig pit.
13. Add sun reflectors onto your outdoor enclosure.
14. Add a damp towel into your hutch or on top of your bun's cage.
15. Add frozen ice packs underneath an indoor cage.
