Three times I had to defrost bowls and bottles yesterday

and they've all got that silver loft stuff on (well not the bowls obviously :lol:) done them again this morning :roll:. 1 o clock me and Bryn were down the garden last night doing them :evil: and they were still frozen this morning, I have never known it so bad :?
 
So cold isn't it? Was dense freezing fog here all day yesterday and is still here today :(
 
Yeah it's really bad, I had come down in the moring at times and had to defrost but not repeatedly through the day, you're local to me we must have got the worst of the weather. :(
 
I've got all my rabbits in the garage, and yet the water bottle on one of the hutches had frozen... :shock: I don't know why, but I thought, if they were undercover, it ought to prevent that. I keep going out to check obsessively now as a result!
 
Same here and they've got socks on and them snuggle safe covers and of a night they have the pull down cover over them, yet they still keep freezing up :evil:
 
Pootle wont even use a bottle, so I have to keep her bowl right next to her heatpad and change it through the day and night! :shock:
 
I've just looked on Metcheck up until next Thursday and it's going to be even colder all the way up til then :shock::shock:
 
Yep first time in years I've had to stand there with a large bucket of hot water defrosting water bottles.

Although I do tend to only do mine once or twice a day as at least then they're thirsty and tend to stop the bottle from freezing again so fast.
They do also have veggies so that also helps their fluids.

My outside tap is frozen as well again that hasn't happened for the last couple of years.:D

Oh well it should kill of some of the bugs that area round.

It's a small world isn't it.
Do you have any other family still there.

I have a grandad and aunt's, uncles and cousins.

My grandparents and parents where involved in a lot of rotary and innerwheel .
A lot of people know the family because of this and my granddad's involvement with the council he was also a builder.

My buns have bowls and bottles, this morning the bowls were frozen solid but I'd put 4 pairs of socks on the bottles and they were fine :)
 
Chloe is selling those NASA cup that she said is thermal proof. I don't know what they look like. Either PM her or buy 1 and try out and see how it works.
