Bottle cover...

Should I put Riley's a couple of old socks underneath Riley's bottle cover because my friends bottle still froze with the cover on it?
 
water bottle freezing

Hi there,
i have had bottles freezing, including the spouts.....try bubble wrapping and a sock...failing that, i have also been given the suggestion to put the bottle "IN" the hutch.....i.e place it in a hay rack...pack it out with hay, paper etc so it is held in well with stuff that doesnt matter if the buns chew...it all acts a s a further insulator to the water....
my bottles froze even though the buns are in a shed with carpet around the walls and duvets around their hutches!!!! temperatures have been wicked this last week havent they.
I keep a change of bottles indoors and change each time i go out to them...several times a day.
 
i have managed to keep my water bottles un frozen by wrapping ehem, doggie poo bags around the bottle around 10 of them them tin foil round them and a thermal sock over the top,
this has worked really well for me hope this helps you aswell :)
