Hi all, long time lurker first time poster.
I have decided to set up a colony with artificial warrens, as my summer in Western Australia can get to 47c (118f) and my plan was to surround large containers with my native soil, which is heavy clay, and add drip emitters to keep the soil damp, while also considering the use of Mylar (reflective material) to act as a mulch.
I also planned on making a corner with misters on a temperature sensor to allow the rabbits to go in and out when they desire.
My concern is that there is not a lot of info on the depth I need to bury those containers and whether or not soil dampness and Mylar will reflect radiant heat enough.
The entire enclosure will be clad in fly screen and shade cloth, mainly to prevent myxomatosis and calicivirus which comes and goes here, but also stop direct sunlight in the summer.
Sorry for the long post, but if anyone can give me insight and suggestions that would be amazing!
