All week, our weather has been extremely hot. Or perhaps I'm just feeling it twice as bad, with a baby in my belly, but regardless...
This heat alone has done in my senior hamster, sadly... And I'm TRYING to prevent it from harming any of my other fur-babies. My scaley-babies are loving it, on the other hand.
So... What can I do to keep my bunny cool, or to help him cool off or regulate his own temperature better during these extreme heat spells? He's in one of the coolest possible spots in the house, NOT in the sun at all, but what more can I do for him?
He's litterbox trained, and his cage has an empty, hard plastic bottom, so it's cooler than if he had bedding in there... But what else? I'm making sure he has fresh water as well, and have even been giving him a bowl of water when I normally only leave him with a bottle, so he has even better access to consistent water.
Any ideas would be great, thanks!
