1. care for sufficient shade places in the enclosure for all animals
2. slightly moistened outside of the ears provide pleasant cooling
3. offer several drinking possibilities, so that all animals always have access to drinking water
4. never place small animal enclosures* directly on the hot balcony floor!
*Commercial cages and small animal hutches do not correspond to species-appropriate small animal husbandry. Rabbits and guinea pigs need plenty of space and well-structured runs to lead a happy animal life.
