I live in the desert. The LAST thing you want to do is put ANY animal in the garage. Garages are typically not insulated. They are much hotter than inside the house and many times even hotter than outside. This is especially true in the summer. The outside is cooler, plus you can get a breeze. This is why many people in the desert in the summer have their garages partially open. It is to cool it down and let the heat out so it is not hotter than outside.
I will take your word that that's true where you live. Elsewhere, garages are considerably cooler than a house...and insulated.
I had a white bunny with a black nose, paws and ears that I named Little Thumper and was a beautiful bunny! 🐇🐰👍
Thank you very much for this.
I was just given a rescue rabbit today and the temps are almost 100f so I really appreciate this information!
Oh wow! Keep the bun cool!
Thank you so much. I did not know they shouldn’t get hay when it’s hot.
Hay laying around just makes them more hot. Hay feeders that don't allow spillage are ok.
Thank you SO much! I live in SW Louisiana, and we have been getting temperatures above 105f. We have been keeping a fan and some water bottles in their cages luckily, we haven't seen any of them chew the water bottle. I did recently lose my doe to a heat stroke a few weeks ago luckily her babies are 8 weeks, but I was so heartbroken.
I'm so sorry you lost a bun. I've been through that, too. I hope the rest of summer goes better in your rabbitry!
@@Proverbs31Homestead don't you kill them to eat them... BIG difference to losing a rabbit you love to a rabbit you want to scoff down your gut hun
@@chloediana919 People who keep animals for food still love and respect the animal, thus wanting the best for them up until the very end. So, losing one unexpectedly is still hard on the heart. Heck, it's not easy to cull them either. You left this comment as a snide remark thinking you would take a shot at the uploader but all you have really done is allowed your ignorance to show through. Congratulations.
@@ruxbin333 how can you love something you're going to kill 🤣
Make it make sense.
I ain't ignorant I just know logic... clearly thats something YOU don't.
I like the zip bag idea 🎉 I freeze large plastic bottles and they all sit or lay next to it and I gave them ice in their drinking bowl. They ll lick on the ice. 😅
And they don’t eat a ziploc …..
I have the black and brown one but I have two of them and I have that light brown one too but she died but the other one didn’t
I live in Thailand. Just got a Dutch buck and a Rex doe. Temperatures in the cool season averages 32 degrees C. At night, with fans, I can get it to just about 29 C. They get ice bottles too quite a lot. Am I sh1t out of luck for breeding? I read that they go sterile temporarily after 5 days over 28C. Thanks.
At about 85 degrees F (29ish C) male rabbits do go temporarily sterile. For this reason, people who live in hotter climates wait until a cooler season to breed.
Thanks so much for the information!!
You're welcome!
No bedding for these bunnies just half a tiny cage 😔
They are in big cages and they don't like bedding 😊 (unless a doe needs a nest). They are happy buns.
No toys either.
They’re meat rabbits jeez 😂😂
@@anniefowlers6545so it’s okay to abuse animals if ur gonna eat them? Wtf
rabbits shouldn't be kept in cages like this. this is heartbreaking.
Solid flooring is what's harmful, keeping urine and manure near their feet and soaking into the floor. Cages made specifically for rabbits do not harm their feet. Even so, my rabbits have tiles or pieces of wood to sit on, if they wish. They literally never wish, though 😊
@@Proverbs31Homesteadthe point is the lack of space and enrichment where are their toys ? Hay?
Pellets are hay. Toys are sticks, pinecones, and wood boards.
I want to move to arizona any ideas for rabbits
I don't have personal experience raising rabbits in a hot climate, but I know many who live where the summers are hot choose TAMUKS, Checkered Giants, Dutch, and Satins.
Are these rabbits for meat? Is this why they're in cages? Obviously pet rabbits aren't meant to be in kept in cages because it is CRUEL and they are easy to litter train, just like a cat and so can live in the house.
I've just watched another of her videos and yes they are for meat! She kills them!
Absolutely vile
@@chloediana919 She’s a disgusting human being
@@chloediana919you must be vegan. Cause if you eat meat you shoudld see how they live before being slaughtered 😊
@@anniefowlers6545we can’t control how farms handle their livestock, but raising animals urself in cruel conditions and trying to justify it is crazy
She breeds for meat SAD
Maybe clean your poop trays. Little more often
Pretty sure daily is often enough ;)
You don't want them to eat plastic but you do want to keep them in a cage! Why!??
RUclips hasn't been alerting me to all comments, hence my late reply. My answer is that without cages, my rabbits would be food for bear, cougar, bobcat, racoons, fox, and more.
Horrible cage- too small and hurts their feet
Please educate yourself before making comments like this. Our cages are all 16 gauge which does NOT harm rabbit feet. But even if it did, all the rabbits have something to rest their feet on: Either a wood house (small, pet rabbits) or a piece of wood...which, incidentally, they rarely choose to sit on. Our cages are all much larger than the standard, also. They are healthy, happy rabbits.
Lennon the Bunny
Is this literally all the space they have!??? This is shocking. Please watch Lennon the Bunny and learn how to take care of rabbits.
That’s what I thought! Their poor feet on that wire!this is so sad with all the health hazards that come along with these conditions ☹️
Abuse in my opinion... no room.. no hay.. nothing.. looks like something they do when getting killed for meat! Absolutely disgusting 😤
These rabbits are for meat
@@skeen8990how does that make the way they are being treated right now any better
