TIPS DURING HOT DAYS
Good preparation is half the work, they say, so no half work from our side! We looked at a way to offer the animals cooling from different sides. On the one hand, for example, by placing a cool element in the enclosure, but on the other hand, a cold store can also be nice for animals that do not like to lie too openly. .... and of course the challenge to offer the real rodents something that they will not gnaw to pieces in 2 minutes!
We have aluminium plateaus especially for Gerbils, Chinchillas and Degus. These provide cooling via the paws. As soon as the animals sit on the cool plateau, they experience relief thanks to the contact with the soles of their feet. In addition, the plateau is 100% gnawing-proof.
A cooler ground cover can also be very pleasant. Back 2 Nature, Tumblefresh, Houtvezel, are a few examples of cool ground covers. During very hot days, all animals should have at least 1 place in the enclosure where they can find cooling.
Especially for Guinea Pigs and Rabbits there are now finally also cold stores available. 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 drinking water pleasantly cool and prevent algae growth.
✔ Preferably use houses made of ceramic or terracotta. These stay cooler than wooden houses.
Please note! Do not place the cooling stone in the sun, as this can cause it to heat up considerably.
