Do you have any old tiles about? I read recently that you can pop them in the freezer then put them on base of cage. Even slate or pavers could work. With pavers, you could just poor ice cold water over then and the stone should soak it up.

I’m also a big believer in the temporary cool down of the ear turban.
You take a cold washcloth that’s only a bit damp, wrpa it around both ears so it touches both outside and inside the ears, and let it stay on for several minutes. Spockie used to hand out with it on for quite a few minutes. Eventually they may shake it off, then take it away before nibbling commences.
It seems the insides of the ears in particular are sensitive to getting their bodies to cool down. Kind of like the back of our necks. Maybe he’ll take a calmer nap afterwards.

Ear turban? I will have to try that sometime.

Ear turban is a very good idea. Their ears are so huge that has to help so much. And the freezing of tiles is also a good idea. If you haven’t got any tiles, go buy a few from the store. They’re cheap. Just not if you want to do your whole floor =) You can touch them all and pick the one that feels the coldest to take home, since different stones/compilations radiate heat differently

You can buy cooling pads and stuff that stays “cold.” Then if the bunny tends to chew it or is freaked out by the chill you could just lay tiles on top to make it more natural.

chillo seems good!

Well my rabbits are generally “comatose” when they fall into a deep sleep. I’m not exactly if the body heats up or cools down when you are asleep but I know I usually wake up colder when I wake from a deep sleep. It might be beneficial though if he is getting a deep sleep as his body is rejuvenating itself. I’ve read when animals hibernate their body temperatures cool down so maybe this is cooling him down but obviously rabbits are not hibernating animals. Also are your days shorter now? That could be why he’s getting deeper sleeps as well.

Mimzy + turban – It forms a funny image in my head! Can you put things under the plastic cage bottom also? Surely the coolness would transfer thru the base.

Now I’m thinking of one bunny cage – on ice, thankyou.

For humans, we do cool down during sleep I think.  Good point Sarita.

OH my Mimzy tries to break the tiles.  Goodness what a charactor.  

I didn’t know alaska got humid.  I thought Alaska was all snow and ice. You do have hot weather there after all.  

Mimzy sounds like a very particular bun.  Likes things a certain way.

How’s Mimzy today? did any of our suggestions work? Did Mimzy borrow the keys and drive to the nearest hotel with AC?

I don’t know if it helps any, but Little-Bit sleeps deeply and twitches all the time. I’m pretty sure that in itself is normal, like REM sleep.

LOL I like your new siggy.
