TIPS DURING HOT DAYS
Good preparation is half the work, it is sometimes said, so no half work from our side! We looked at a way to offer the animals cooling from different sides. On the one hand, by placing a cool element in the enclosure, for example, but on the other hand, a cold store can also be pleasant for animals that do not like to lie too open. .... and of course the challenge to offer the real nibblers something that they won't chew to pieces in 2 minutes!
We have aluminum trays especially for Gerbils, Chinchillas and Degus. These provide cooling through the legs. As soon as the animals sit down on the cool plateau, they experience relief thanks to the contact with the soles of their feet. The plateau is 100% gnawing-resistant.
A cooler ground cover can also be very pleasant. Back 2 Nature, Tumblefresh, Wood Fiber, are a few examples of cool ground covers. During very hot days, all animals should have at least one place in the enclosure where they can cool down.
Cold stores are now finally available especially for guinea pigs and rabbits. These have an insulation layer in the roof where cooling elements can be placed.
✔ Use a cooling element such as the ICEPOD or Cooling Stone.
✔ Use a thermal cover for the drinking bottle to keep the drinking water pleasantly cool and prevent algae growth.
✔ Preferably use houses made of ceramic or terracotta. These stay cooler than wooden houses.
NB! Do not place the cooling stone in the sun, as it can heat up considerably.
