In summer it is easy for rabbits to over heat and die because, unlike other animals, bunnies have no means of cooling themselves such as panting, or sweating. In the wild, rabbits huddle in their cool underground burrows during the heat of the day. Domestic rabbits often die in summer because they have nowhere to hide from the heat of the sun, and their owners have no idea that they are in trouble until it is far too late.
