The lower prolificacy attributed to does reared in hot climates (30° to 31°C) would appear to be the result not so much of the temperature itself as a reduction in body weight caused by a lower feed intake in the heat (Figure 14). It would seem, however, that embryo mortality increases when the temperature exceeds 30° to 33°C, although here again decreased feed intake needs to be considered as a possible cause.HLRSC Official Guidebook wrote:To decrease litter and maternal mortality due to hot or cold temperature extremes, I move the does into my basement approximately one week before their due date with no ill effects. Moving the does at this time does not seem to stress or upset them in any way. Cold temperatures slow down the birthing process, making it difficult for the doe. Likewise, extreme heat may cause heat exhaustion in the doe or result in a dead litter.Welsh's Honey Bun Rabbitry wrote:New babies need to stay warm - but you should keep newborns inside during the summer so they do not overheat. 80 degrees is dangerous.
