To make it worth your while, here's a picture of Baby Gandalf!

The many sleeping positions of Baby Gandalf

So I have this Blue Tort kit. He's a singleton, fat, and loves to sleep. The following is a collection of SOME of his many off sleeping positions.

Hope you enjoy =)

Just a little note: yes the wire is broken. That is where smart one above got his head stuck at a week old. I had to cut the wire to free the little scoundrel. They don't move the bowl, so I haven't worried about rushing to fix the hole yet. No worries, they are safe, I keep a watchful eye on it =)

Tip from the Wooly people!

I was browsing the NJWRC Facebook page yesterday and I came across a post talking about freezing water in a bowl. I decided, why not? So I took a bowl, filled it up, and stuck it in the fridge. Morning comes along, and I give it to a rabbit that I figured was smart enough to utilize this. Well, he did!

Toulouse is the rabbit that can't handle the heat as well as everyone else. I'm out there A LOT trying to make sure he's comfortable, and switching out water bottles and tiles. He got the bowl, and decided to use it as his main water source and drank about a third of it each time I switched them out. The second time, I even tossed 4 ice cubes in there, and he still drank a third of the water.

It is a great method for keeping the little guys cool, and I will probably use all of my bowls up if I see anyone else extremely uncomfortable by the heat. Right now, he is the only one.

Hope this helps!

Chill Out!

During the summer months, it's often interesting to see how various rabbitries keep cool. There are a lot of different methods. I made a blog post a few days ago about the methods I suggest. Here are some pictures of the buns cooling off in the rabbitry.

Our new fan. Putting a frozen bottle should, in theory, help blow cool air. I have yet to see a difference

Gemma is the nosiest rabbit

Toulouse, enemy of heat, loves it when I put a cold towel on him. I get it wet, ring some of the water out, stick if in the freezer for a few minutes, and it's a cool blanket!

Hope your bunnies are fairing the heat well!
