What are signs of heatstroke in bunnies and how can I prevent it?

Signs of heatstroke in bunnies include:

- Rapid breathing
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Seizures
- Red or purple skin
- Drooling
- Loss of appetite

To prevent heatstroke in bunnies, you can take the following measures:

- Provide plenty of fresh, cool water for your bunny to drink
- Ensure your bunny has a shaded area to retreat to out of direct sunlight
- Avoid exercising your bunny during the hottest parts of the day
- Keep your bunny's living area well ventilated
- Place frozen water bottles or ice packs in your bunny's cage to help keep them cool
- Use a fan or air conditioning to keep the temperature down in your bunny's living area

If you suspect your bunny is suffering from heatstroke, it is important to seek veterinary help immediately. Cool your bunny down with cool, not cold, water and move them to a cooler area until you can get them to a vet.
