What's the best way to look after animals in this weather, particular for rabbits?

My good friend has a rabbit in a large run out the garden. The bottom section is covered over on the top and the sides to create a shade for when it was raining but also to avoid heat. Always has enough water available and is kept outside at night during the warm spell instead of the hutch in the garage. They rub his ears with a damp cloth now, as recommended by some TV Programme this week. Anything else?

Similar question for dogs but my own westie has the run of the house and garden, so moves around to different outside spots where its shaded and goes out into the sun when she wants. Likewise, she can come in and out of the house as she pleases. Plenty of fresh water available for her.

Might be a good thread for general recommendations for animals in this weather.
