get some bricks or similar on top of hutches/cages or runs, an then lay something on top, i use thin ply it adds more shade an the space between the ply an the roof of run is a nice little air gap whi

i dont have a problem with the heat regarding the ferts....   a poncho over the hutch keeps the place cool  

Sound advice mate...gonna give it a go ;-)

i got a court at the bottom of the yard and one at the top linked with a pipe so they can find shade.When it is really warm they spend a lot of time in the pipe, and a couple of washing up bowls with a house brick in filled with water just over the top of the brick which they play on and get a good soaking in the proses

frozen pop bottles is a winner. . . and them ice packs that are flat. ..bowl of water to bath in..plenty of shade. . . mine quite like a little dip in the paddling pool on a very hot day.. :thumbs:

Dont put shitty pop bottle back in yer missis's freezer before you've wiped the thing down.. :whistling:

i got a big run on the side of the shed that they live in. iv found a big shallow tray. 4ft x 18 inch, but only 4 inch deep. so they have this as a paddling pool. they love it.

Youve given me an idea...base of my old dog crate is plastic removable tray 2 inches deep...nice one!

Well to my way of thinking giving anything FROZEN (by mouth ) , will only make their bodies work twice as hard to get to a normal Temp , I am sticking with ice blocks (wrapped) and a water bath and a light spray, Kits and adults *touch wood * seem ok so far and its over 30 c atm
