Wet Rabbit Better Than Dead Rabbit

A wet coat after being hit by the mister.

After being blown for a minute, the two youngsters are back to normal.

It has been so hot in CA recently; the late heat wave has been around for 6 days. Heat is more dangerous to rabbits than cold; heatstroke could kill.


Misters are one of the equipment that could help cool down the temperature around the rabbits. Invariably some rabbits will get wet. Luckily the Angora wool has resistance to soaking. No matter how wet it looks on the surface of the wool, the undercoat is usually dry. It only takes a minute or two to blow the wetness away and the rabbit is as good as new.
