It is wrong to use a spray water bottle on rabbits?

Question

my rabbits are boiling some 1 said to freeze bottles so im doing that now but it will take hours so can I gently spray water on them?

Answer 1

No its not wrong, they just dont like it.

Answer 2

You're rabbit might be having a heat stroke. What you need to do is wrap cold wash cloths around your rabbits ears. That will cool the blood down. Then get him in some AC or put him in front of a fan. If that doesn't work then you definitely need to take your rabbit to the nearest emergency veterinary clinic. Good

Answer 3

u should probably wait until the water has COMPLTELY melted and there are water droplets on the outside of the bottle, u def. want to make sure u don't give your rabbit a cold!!!

Answer 4

It is not cruel but they would much prefer a cool bathroom tile or waterbottle full of ice to lay on when they want to.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

i wouldn't really think it would be wrong as long as u don't cause no harm, it might even cool it down a bit

Answer 7

No, it is NOT okay.

You CAN give them an upper respiratory infection.

Answer 8

yes u can infact u can even give rabbits a bath......~Ashlyn

Answer 9

right..please do not bathe your rabbit, you should only ever do this if your bun has mites etc.

Spraying your rabbit could frighten him or her and make him or her ill..

The best idea is to freeze a water bottle, like a coke bottle etc, and then place the frozen bottle in the hutch or run. this keeps them cool.

You can also purchase 'Ice Pods' for your bunny.

another idea is to put a concrete slab, like marble etc in the run with your bunnies as this is cool for them.x*x

Answer 10

yes... make sure its not directly in their faces tho...itll kinda sorta be like a bath or smthn..just make sure the water isnt TO cold. becuz then they could get a cold

Answer 11

you can mist them and get them damp to help cool them but I freeze coke bottles full of water and put in the cages for mine. They lay next to them and cool off.

If your rabbits are white you may notice them turning gray where they lay next to the bottles, dont freak out, this is normal

Answer 12

If you want to mist them, you should spray the water over them so that the water will gently land on them and they won't freak out. You can also use the ice water on a cloth and them pass that over them, especially on the ears, which you might notice is unusually warm.

You can also try putting ice in a water dish and let the l**k it. Just make sure the ice is slick first, so their tongues don't get stuck on the ice.
