Busy day for Salmiaki-kun.
First, he hung out with other buns at the rescue while we helped sort veggies and did other tasks.
Then a trip over to Walmart to pick up some art supplies (it was either that or Hobby Lobby; I chose the lesser of two evils).
Then we picked up veggies and berries at a local farmer’s market, where he was the belle of the ball.
Now we’re home and he’s all tuckered out.
Not bad for a seven y.o. bun, especially given anything above 80F is dangerous for an exposed bun:
(He was never in any danger)
Not as bad as some places (MPLS — yikes!) but still hot out there.

Is he like a babe in arms? Or do you use a harness and leash? Or…?

He’s too smol to let walk on the ground in crowded places. In Walmart we kept him in his carrier with the top off so he could look around. At the farmers market we put a towel on the cart basket and wheel him around.
I’ll try to take a picture next time we take him out with us. Usually we’re busy being vigilant since outings can be stressful for him.

Sitting on the front porch with Bitey Blue, enjoying the brief moment of relative “cool” as a pop-up afternoon thunderstorm moves out.

Here in Michigan we’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave, next week.
We have thousands of bunnies in the neighborhood.
Okay, not thousands but there are a lot, we worry what they do in the heat.

Wild buns usually spend the day under bushes or other cover to keep them out of direct sunlight. They’ll also dig a little divot in the ground to stay cool, but they can get heatstroke when it is really hot. A quiet, shaded area will help them out a lot.
You can also help them out by making water available in the early morning or late evening for them so they can stay hydrated. They regulate their temperature through their ears, they don’t pant like dogs and cats.

The area under our rose bushes is popular of an afternoon. I’ve definitely seen buns drinking from the water saucer we have out there. Plus squirrels and birbs.
We’ve had a friend visiting this afternoon. SIL and her fuzzy charge.
The cats are fascinated, I think? The big fluffy cat has pretty much been ignoring him. Nimbus has spent hours staring from multiple areas. And also stealing some dog kibble. Ravs pretended she didn’t care, stretching out, but only when she knew the pup was napping.
And here Nimbus was earlier in the day. Plotting murder from on top of the cupboards.

We’re going to put out extra water around the yard where they hang out.

I put out water for the birds and squirrels, but it’s raised up on a raised planter bed. The raccoons get into it to, and probably the rats, but something lower down would work for the rabbits.

We’ve got a few stainless bowls from all our feeding stations that we no longer need so clean fresh water is easy.
These are in shade the entire day and where we see bunnies hanging out.
That flat one is from a heated bird bath that we use on the winter.
