How to keep cool without A/C

[Ariana]

Its in the 90s and getting hotter, out air doesn’t work and our a/c guy is out of town. I have a free roam bun and a foster bun who’s in a room. I also have a VERY FLUFFY Australia shepherd and a cat. I know buns can’t deal with hot temperatures (80+ I think?) How can I keep them cool? I have windows covered and fans going but they’re still hot. I added extra water bowls to their rooms. Any tips?

You can freeze water bottles or tiles and give those. You can also put a cold wet wash cloth on the fan so it blows cold air.

I got a floor a/c unit in the bunny room for emergencies even though we have 2 zones in our house.

Frozen water bottles wrapped in a tea towel work well for my buns. If I put these in a cardboard box it is almost an air conditioned room! My girl survived quite well like this in temps well over 90F.

I have a solid heat pad that I can warm in the microwave and I am pretty sure it can be placed in a freezer too. It has a fluffy cover and they love to flop on it when it is warm. I assume it would be as appealing cold too! Dont give them any sort of gel or cooler they can chew

A pan of ice with a little water in front of the fan also a cold wet towel helps. Here are some tips too on this website link.
