        Hello!

        I am wondering at which temperature can rabbits hold? I am from Greece there the place is often the hottest country and the celsius nowadays is either 24C, 25C or even 26C.

        I heard they can withstand head until 21C some say 26C and some say 31C which confuses me.

        So, officially or truthfully, which temperature can they hold before starting to have problems?

          I dont go above 75F/23C. Im not too comfortable above that, and our rabbits get very lethargic above that

              Let’s see, 25.5 would be about room temperature in the summer at my house. That’s 78F and the buns act like they’re dying. Note I said act! They aren’t going to die at that temperature, but they are going to be feeling a bit warm. I put stuff out for them to cool off on. I would never allow things to get warmer than that though.

                I keep my flat at 22 when the sun’s fully out and 23 the rest of the time and my bun is happy and active.

                  Hrm glad I have a while to think about how to deal with summer for my bun… temperatures can get up to 47C/115F here… very hard to keep the house cool.

                    Yes, heat is much more of a concern for rabbits than the cold is. They handle cold temps well and indoors in Australia during winter is nothing to be concerned about. Summer is definitely the concern, I’m not sure if you cool that room of your house at all. But certainly something to consider.

                      A fan is good if you don’t have AC. A fan that blows air on a wet bed-sheet hung over the cage can be very effective, just make sure the bun can’t reach the bedsheet and eat it.

                      Frozen water-bottles to snuggle up to is also good. This is the first year I’ve had to take these measures with my buns, it normally doesn’t get very hot here. If you you keep your windows open, use mosquito-screens/netting or fly-traps so flies can’t get to your bun (risk of fly-strike). Check buns rear twice daily if you have the odd fly around.
