I have seen on facebook the devastating effect of a hutch burnt down after the reflection on the water bottle started a fire. :(
I will copy and upload the photo later if I am able to. The rabbit has survived but is at vets undergoing treatment and on pain relief.

please ensure your rabbits hutch is in the shade and that any water bottles do not have direct sunlight on them, where possible move your rabbit indoors.

WATER BOTTLES CAN START A FIRE VERY QUICKLY!
please do not post negative comments this poor family are going through enough. :(

Rabbits do not tolerate heat well. :(
Although my hutches were always in the shade , I must admit I would not have anticipated that a water bottle in sunlight could start a fire :(
