  Hi all I know the ideal temperature for rabbits is between 10 – 25 degrees Celsius. Anything above and rabbits need to be monitored for overheating.
  I’m also wondering about humidity. What is the ideal range of humidity.
  
  We’ve had bad weather in Sydney, Australia and humidity has been between 80-99% most days. The buns are moulting like crazy.
  
  But I’m also wondering if high humidity is an issue? I read somewhere that bunnies can tolerate high humidity because inside Warren’s it has high humidity. But they don’t tolerate low humidity ( e.g. dry heat).

  Wabbitwiki cites “30% to 70% relative humidity” being ideal, but generally speaking, you want to be extra mindful that high humidity definitely contributes to heat and air circulation. I would definitely prioritize keeping the temperature in a comfortable range and promoting air flow when possible.
