I don't know if any of you do this, but I have a good way to help cool the bunnies. I take plastic bottles (quart or 2 lt. are best) and fill to about 3" from top with water and freeze. About 10 am when it starts getting hot, I'll take some out and put under the hay in their pen. This bunch is moving the straw off and laying right on top of the bottles. It cools the bedding and the surrounding air for a couple of hours. As the bottle sweats, the surrounding bedding gets damp, which cools them for a little longer. In the evening I'll take the bottles out, wash them off, put in a grocery bag and then back in the freezer. I do have an extra set of bottles in the freezer, so if need be, I can switch the bottles out in the afternoon.
If anyone has other ideas to help keep animals cool, please share.

We freeze the 2-liter pop bottles for the bunny, she loves them.
