Signs of overheating

[KimandCocoa]

I am worried that my rabbit Daisy has been overheating lately. I took a short video of how she was breathing, what do you think?

The video was taken after she spent several minutes running around and doing binkies. The air conditioning was not on in our house and it was about 75 degrees inside. We keep the temperature 78 degrees in here during the summer, so the a/c kicks on if it gets to that point.

haha so adorable! I don't think she's overheated. I think she's just panting and breathing a little heavier because of the exercise. My rabbit Mochi does this also after a lot of physical activity and it has nothing to do with the temperature (my apt is usually around 70 degrees or so). If you are worried about her temperature, u can freeze some water bottles and put them next to her. Or u can take a wet paper towel and run it over her ears (rabbits use their ears to cool down their body temperature).
