  I might be caring to much. I was wondering my bunny lives in my bedroom and it is coming close to summer time and I read in an article that you should watch out for the humidity and keep the room at a 50-60 degrees for humidity. I was wondering is there any way that I can bring down the humidity in my bedroom?

  Summer time can be rough on buns if it gets too hot in the house. A de-humidifyer would make any room feel warmer (that’s why we use a one year round
  in our basement). As long as you can keep the summer heat out of your room so that it’s comfortable your bunny should be OK. Closing the window and drawing the blinds would help but it might be confusing to your bun to be in semi-darkness all day. I tried for a couple of summers to keep things cool enough for my guys and finally broke down and got a room air-conditioner. By closing all the windows in the house, the single room air conditioner kept our whole house pretty comfortable for buns and people alike. Rabbits can’t handle extreme heat. I never thought about humidity by itself as around here they pretty much come
  hand in hand. Could you move your bunny to a cooler part of the house during the really hot days?

  Thank you for all the great tips I really can’t move her to another part of the house. I have another bun who is currently ill and they can’t be together or see each other because she stresses him out if he sees or smells her. thanks for all the great tips.

  Humidity is a bigger problem for animals who cool themselves with sweat. Sweat works by evaporating off your body (Evaporative cooling) and cools you down. It’s impossible in 90/100 humidity for the sweat to evaporate so over heating is an issue. Since rabbits can’t sweat I doubt it would be an issue in terms of overheating.
  
  But it probably is uncomfortable so a dehumidifier couldn’t hurt
