If your rabbit is a house pet it is comfortable with about the same temperature that you keep the house. Domestic rabbits are most comfortable between 50-75F (10-23C). Please note: Rabbits absolutely cannot take the heat over 80 degrees F (26C). Over 78F (25C), you must do things to make sure the rabbit won't overheat. Rabbits have small lungs and they don't sweat -- these are two reasons why rabbits can't take the heat very well, and in hot weather they may die. Some ways to cool down a rabbit in temperatures over 78F include:

  • Keep in a ventilated area with cool moist canvas to lay on
  • Provide air conditioning
  • Chill ceramic or stone tiles in the freezer for the rabbit to lie on
  • Freeze a block of ice in a jug and set it down near the rabbit -- even if the rabbit doesn't want to lay against it, it will cool the air as it evaporates
  • Drape a cold wet towel near the rabbit and aim a fan at the towel -- a fan alone doesn't much help rabbits because they don't really sweat, but the fan aimed at the towel will cool the nearby air as the water evaporates
  • Mist the rabbit's ears with cold water
  • Provide lots of cold water to drink
  • Maximize air flow and shade in the area

What temperatures can pet rabbits live in?

Well, they cannot be in very cold weather. Most rabbits are kept at room temperature or a minimum of fifty five degrees. If you have a rabbit in one climate for a while, or long enough for the rabbit to get used to that temperature, keep the rabbit in that temperature as much as possible. Rabbits can't handle drassic or epic weather changes all of a sudden, they have very weak hearts. So I guess the short answer would be 55-70 degrees. And try not to make that much of a temperature leap than the last location. :) hope I helped, and good luck.
