As you are enjoying those fireworks tonight, remember your bunnies.
A Radio on in the barn can help keep the rabbits from stressing during the booms of fireworks and the whooping and hollering of any nearby neighbors.
Having corn on the cob? Save those husks and feed them to your rabbits for a fantastic treat! Remember to feed in moderation and check to make sure there is no mold on it. Corn husks, if kept damp, mold in a shockingly short amount of time.
If you have the heat we typically associate with July here in the South, add frozen water bottles or frozen tiles to the cages. Relief from the heat keeps your rabbits healthy and happy. I also recommend freezing bananas, peel and all. Chunks of this treat keeps your animals cooler and makes sure they get nutrition (as many go off feed in extreme heat)- plus it's a nice thing to do for them.
Are there bonfires or poor air quality from lots of grilling around? If possible, I like to close up the barn to keep the air clean for the rabbits. Depending on the heat and other factors, this may not be possible. Just remember, keep any fires well away from the barn!
Enjoy your 4th of July!
