I have read that rabbits ears will grow longer in the heat... how long does that last though? Our basement stays at 60 degrees all year round. Our house gets usually about 10 or so degrees cooler than outside(we don't use the AC unless absolutely necessary)...
I am just wondering if my little buns should be downstairs during the summer... they are 7wks and up....
So is there an age when the ears won't be affected by heat? If it will help keep my bunnies ears small, I will keep them downstairs.
Also, does it affect pregnant does? Not so much the does, but the unborn kits? Would they be more or less likely to have little ears if the doe is kept in a cooler area? Or does it not have much affect on them?
Sorry for all the questions, but in a breed where ears are such a big deal(being small that is) I don't want something preventable to ruin them!
