The heat has been unbearable here in the midwest lately and in spite of doing all I could (I was not home at the time but the ice bottles got put in and waterers filled) I still lost two of my bunnies.
Celest was a 7 month old Light Gray Flemish Giant doe
and
Honey Bunny was my year and a half old Californian buck
My in-laws checked on all the bunnies (We had 30 of them) at 3pm all were in the shade by then and they wetted them all down. Everyone was still doing all right, they checked them again at 5pm and all were still all right. I got home from my job at 9pm and both were dead.
Heat indexes were 115-120 degrees and the breeze had basically disappeared around 2pm.
Though I am thankful we didn't lose more I will still miss Celest and Honey Bunny greatly.
