We had a very busy Memorial Day weekend! I realized last week that my new Champagne D’Argent bunnies were getting way too hot in their new hutch.
All weekend I tried to trouble shoot the issue and set up fans, froze water bottles, and added extra roof pieces to the side. I even stapled fabric over the front and sides too and I found soaking 2 panels with water does help to reduce the temperature.
But the hutch is still getting over 90 degrees in the middle of the day. That’s very dangerous for these bunnies.
Ultimately we decided to get a new prebuilt shed for the yard. It’s the exact same size as the Crafty Cottage I put in a few years ago, but this one will be the Rabbit Ritz. I’m still wrapping my head around the expense, but I know I love raising bunnies already. I can’t wait to get angoras and have a ready supply of fine wool on hand as well!
Let's go quilt,
