Nest Box Heat

[Shaded Night Rabbitry]

Sooo. The nursery is upstairs in my room. It's gotta be a good 80 ~ 85 up there right now. I'm taking care of the mommas. They have their fan going, and they have frozen water bottles... But what about the kits?

They didn't seem too distressed, but they did seem a little... What can I do in head to help them? (Great thing to know, since my next round of litters is due in the middle of july. >.>


Thanks~

You can put a bucket of ice in front of the fan to get the cold air flowing. You can also use slabs of marble, they stay cool and provide a cold laying area. The room temperature is a little high but your doing what you can. I would watch closely and possibly remove some nesting material to lower the heat.
