Here is a link to an article on the house rabbit society web page that discusses warm weather concerns for bunnies. http://rabbit.org/faq-warm-weather-concerns/ Hopefully some of this information will help you convince your parents to bring your bunnies inside.

    Perhaps it would be most helpful if your parents posted a question in the forum with their concerns for keeping the rabbits indoors and I could address each one? I am in agreement that rabbits should not be left outdoors in extreme heats. I would love to be able to help further.
