Loving the herd life
I have 16 day old kits right now. Today temps were 99 and the heat index around 108. My rabbits are in the coolest spot in the yard and one of us checks on them at least every two hours in this heat. Today is the first time I have had to put a frozen bottle in with my babies. One, was so "not home" when I went out there that I did not expect him to live. I layed him on top of the bottle and you could watch him come back to his senses. I have put frozen bottles and bricks out there 4 times today. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse so I have a few more bottles made up and freezing. I have seen people say on here they use ceramic tiles. What do you mean by that? The thin tile you would use to tile your floor or showers? I have used bricks, as I thought they would last longer beinging so dense. I would prefer something lighter is someone has some advise on that.
I am concerned about bringing them in the house, but I may have to tomorrow. It is right around 80 in my house and that is with 2 a/c's running full time. I have never had a hard time keeping this house cool until this year.
I look forward to any feedback.
All I can say is it is hard to keep them cool enough in the heat the country is dealing with. I will bring them in if it is best....... I just worry about the big transition in temps.
