Good morning everyone,
I am a new rabbit owner, with a buck and two does. They are currently housed in two hanging wire cages. I have found that the shed where I am keeping them (8x8, wood construction, plenty of open windows) seems hot. I've added shade by putting up patio umbrellas and tarps along the outside, which helped a lot. I also have a fan running inside the shed, and of course they have plenty of water. The weather cools down significantly in the evening, so mid-afternoon seems to be the worst of it. What else can I do to help keep my rabbits cool?
