i can’t put in a portable air conditioner because the windows do not open (we are very near the airport and we have special windows). The room does have A/C but it’s not sufficient for the size of the room. i think it stays beneath 80 but it’s still very warm, and again, the temperatures are going down now so this won’t be long-term. While not ideal, the situation i have is what i have to deal with and she seems to be doing okay without much stress. Right now she’s lying down but not panting or breathing heavy at all, just sleeping. Now she woke up and is hopping around her run happily, no panting or other signs of stress at all. Still, i’d rather she be in an ideal home but i’ve gotten less than no help from the rescue who asked me to take her to begin with.

My husband is most definitely allergic to the rabbit dander/saliva, not just the hay. i’m allergic to timothy so i use orchard grass, which i have a small reaction to but not a major one. My husband cannot be in the same room with Checkers for more than a few minutes without having a sneezing reaction. i’ve been vacuuming daily and brushing Checkers in the garage and applying Allerpet-C twice weekly, which has helped some, but i can’t move her to another room because my husband goes in all of the other rooms in the house. And again, this is a foster rabbit and i can’t spend a huge cash outlay to have windows changed out, air purifiers and air conditioners installed for a temporary situation.

Again, i’d love some suggestions about frozen veggies. You’ll just have to trust me that i’m doing my absolute best with a less-than-ideal situation otherwise. See my thread in the Q&A forum if you’d like more background.

Good ideas, thanks! And yes, i was trying purchased frozen broccoli vs. fresh frozen. i like the idea of the water with ice cubes. i also am looking for some ice trays to freeze water with herbs and or fruit in it, so maybe that kind of ice would entice her even more. Thanks!
