I’m in southern Ontario, Canada.  It’s hot and humid here in the summer though this week is up and down between 75 and 86F plus humidex. 

Our bun doesn’t have to worry about keeping cool, we have central air and our house doesn’t get warmer than about 74F.  One end of his pen is near a vent so he can lay there if he wants to be really cool.

have you ever been to the north east of england??!

Hi Loopylop!  Actually I have been to the north east of England, but that was a long time ago (25 yrs to be exact) and I was only passing through.  How is the weather there this year?

I have a sister who lives in London now.  When I visited her in September a few years ago it was pretty hot, but I know that was unusual.

Hi all im from central scotland and usually the weather is pretty mild between 11 degrees C and 14 so its pretty comfortable. Just now we are experiencing a freak heat wave the hottest its been is 27 degrees C thats pretty hot for us scots, To keep my rabbit cool i baught him a little fan that blows on him but moves so it doesnt chill him. I have also put ice cubes in his drinking bowl and being a geologist i had a granite slab handy which he loves to lie on he also likes having his ears misted (my grandad recommended this). Unfortunately he has breathing problems so cant go outside .

i’m in london (engerland). today it is 33 degrees centigrade (91.4F) and tomorrow it will be 35 degrees centigrade (95F).

aircon is broken in our office. i’m dying. that with the pollution, is, quite frankly, killing me.

the bunny has a wet towel, but no fan on. i need to get a big fan but he actually seems ok lying on the correx and chilling out there. my flat doesn’t get crazy hot luckily, warm, but never like it is outside, or in our office right now!

i’m meltingggggg.

going to try the tile idea though as have loads doing nothing in my cupboard.

actually i shouldnt grumble about the weather here this week, it’s very hot! like sazemoo says, we appear to be experiencing a heat wave in England- not so unusual for London but I’m up near Newcastle upon Tyne- i’m on the coast so often we miss out on the good fortune in terms of weather.

My yard only has the sun from around 11.30 – 3.30 then it pops behind next door’s extension! i placed Lollo’s hutch against the wall that doesn’t get direct sunlight so he always has some shade (i did put a large tile upstairs in the hutch but he tried to eat it! ) and when he’s out and about in the back yard he likes to lounge in the shade under the table or behind my dustbin, just chilling!

i’m going to try a bowl with the ice cubes in like tallullu mentioned though because i do think he could be drinking more than he does….

My job in the Navy is to do the weather. I mostly give pilots weather briefs for pilots. currently it is 87 F or 30.6 C. and it is 1611 US Central time or 2011 Zulu time. We had a severe t storm 2 days ago and all of our power was knocked out in and we were experiencing a heat wave I tried to keep Kupo nice and cool but with no A/C going it was a challenge.

most people in the uk don’t have aircon in our homes we’re like from medieval times over here, or the stone age. that’s probably why they built stonehenge, i reckon it’s an old fashioned airconditioning unit, and if you sit just so, the sun never reaches you and you have a completely cool spot!

hm. my mind does wonder sometimes, it really does. still, i think i’ll have to get airconditioning soon. it won’t be long before we all have units hanging out of our windows as well. but then, how do you open you’re window to listen to the rain, or nose at the neighbours?! and it makes soooo much noise!

it’s a toughie!

I reckon your right about the stone henge thing!!  Its a bit crazy all this hot weather we’re getting in the uk at the mo…i’m not complaining tho i think its great, its just that we’re not prepared for it so we all walk around red in the face and wilting!!!

I’ve been ‘misting’ my girls with water these last few weeks and have discovered that its great for me too, i just mist in front of the fan just before it turns on me and then it blows it on me and cools me down a treat!! I may try filling a big bottle, freezing it and then laying down next to it soon……now where can i get a extra large bottle…

just use a big evian one! hehehe. certainly it would make your head cooler laying it on there!

dougal was chasing an ice cube round the floor yesterday so he seems to like just licking and nibbling on normal boring water cubes!

Well this summer is really hot it is like in the 80’s and 90’s most of the time it is in the 80’s but it is still to hot to take Orange Juice out.
I have been taking her out in my room for an extra long time. When I get more bunnies I want to let them have the run of the house but I only have 1 so I have a room that she sleeps in I also have stairs that im scared she could get hurt on. I like your idea about the ice in a bag and stuff it in your shirt.

somehow it’s hot here in the US too. I’m in Chicago, and we’ve had record heat. Thank goodness that I have an airconditioner. The frist heat wave we had, I didn’t and poor fujoe got really dehydrated. I did the whole freeze the water bottle thing, but he was miserable. Now I almost always have it on- for him of couse. He doesn’t have to leave the apartment, I do. I myself became very dehydrated today- I’m just getting over it. . . It was so bad today, and now it’s raining. . stupid chicago.
