Plan around heat, humidity and storms
- Place housing in all-day shade; morning shade is not enough for late-afternoon heat.
- Check rabbits more often as heat and humidity rise, including during power loss.
- Control flies and keep manure areas dry during wet weather.
- Identify an air-conditioned evacuation option before hurricane season.
