Help!!

[stephiemarie78]

they painted the room that we keep our rabbits today and after it dried they put cages back in there. the room isnt' closed up and i have the fan and window ac on but i still can smell the paint feums. Should I move them out of there i'm worried i don't want to hurt them

I always take my buns out when I paint a room. If you can, I would put their cages in another room, at least until tomorrow.

If you cant move their cages, I would probably open all the windows and turn fans on. Keep all doors open.

Good Luck!

yea thats what i'll have to do, i opened the windows there huge one whole side of the wall is full of big windows and the fans on, the room there in is our "florida room" it's a closed in patio kinda of room. Its off the dinning room so no doors to close

I think they should be fine. If you absolutely cannot move their cages, just keep the windows open and the fans on. It might even help to point a fan outward at the window so some of the fumes can be pushed out.

I would just check on them and be sure they are alert and everything. If they look sluggish at all, get them out of there. Otherwise, you should be fine. I have moved my rabbits into a room the day after painting, and I could still smell the paint.

Just make sure you keep an eye on them!

lol. you sound like me ^^^ Im always paranoid about these things! I would keep your air on and windows closed if you can. or just make sure all the windows are open and fans pointing out.

I know things like that always worry me though!
