Heat, heat, heat...

The summer heat has dragged on and we all know how dangerous heat is for people and rabbits.   It seems some facilities either don't have air conditioning (how can that be?) or don't use it well.  Some residents may not be aware of the temperature.  Everything from a person's cognitive state, medications, and overall "constitution" can be factors. I've been visiting earlier in the day when possible.  I freeze a soft water bottle bag and keep it at the bottom of the basket.  It's easy to slip the bag between a program participant and the rabbit for cooler cuddles.  I can also "squirt" a tiny bit of cold water into my hands to comfort the rabbit or do a quick groom.

Shorter, earlier, visits and having a plan is making summer visits possible.  What are your tips?
