20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) is fine for a pet rabbit.

If the temperature rises above 25C (78F), you need to start taking measures to keep the rabbit cool, for instance:

  • 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

Signs of heat stress include panting and flaring of the nostrils. If you suspect heat stress, use some of the methods above to cool the rabbit down and keep a close eye on her to make sure the problem doesn't get worse. Do not soak the rabbit in cold water: this will make the problem worse.

Signs of heat stroke include heavy panting, salivating, confusion, lethargy, and even convulsions. If you suspect your rabbit's in heat stroke, get to a vet immediately.
