Which is more dangerous to your rabbit, hot or cold weather?

  1. Hot

  2. Cold

  3. Both are equally dangerous

  4. Neither; rabbits are very adaptable

The correct answer is: Hot

Rabbits are more sensitive to heat than they are to cold. While rabbits have a thick coat of fur to help keep them warm, they do not have the ability to sweat to help keep them cool. In hot weather, rabbits can easily become overheated and suffer from heatstroke. In contrast, they can better tolerate the cold by cuddling up or burrowing into bedding to keep warm. While both hot and cold weather can be dangerous to rabbits, hot weather poses a higher risk than cold weather. Answer A is the correct choice.
