Anyone raise rabbits ?

Lodi, United States

I don't know--but my two rabbits just survived 112 degrees outside in the shade yesterday. One of the same type of rabbits died from much lower temps in deeper shade two years ago, but it had just come from a much cooler climate (from the Bay Area--mid 70's) to the Central Valley--low 100s. So I think they can adjust over time--these had a chance to gradually shed and lose weight as the temp climbed through spring and summer. One thing they absolutely can't take is direct sun. My son lost his pet rabbit in 70 degree weather when the sun hit him for just 15 minutes. It was horrible.

Both my rabbits are inside now--I was out of town when the temp rose yesterday and I was panicking trying to get home. I really didn't expect to find them alive.

Thank goodness their ok yes the majority of my property is shaded so that wouldnt be a problem. I want to get a bunny one for just another pet but also to put their poo in my worm bins I heard it is great stuff for gardners!
