HELP chins chewed icepod gel coming out

I am freaking out. Went to put the ice pod back in the fridge, as the chins sleep during the day and like the ice pod at night.

They have chewed all the edges and some of the gel was coming out. What is the gel ? Is it dangerous ? They are all fine.

Have no idea how long ago it was chewed, could have been yesterday.

Forgot to add the gel had oozed underneath the ice pod on the shelf I had to unscrew it and bin it.

Can this thread be kept in the health section. I know its about chinchillas but rabbits could chew through an ice pod and it could be helpful to others.

Thanks. Still not 100% happy its a liquid gel. They didn't say what that is, other than not toxic. I assume all small animals are likely to chew it so they would make sure its safe as possible. I am still not happy if they did ingest any of it.
 
If you are worried, give your vets a call and ask for some advice. I've done it before with the dog when he got hold of some chocolate and they gave me some things I could do to reduce the chances of him being poorly. It might just put your mind at ease!
 
Great news that it's non toxic!
I only ever use the stone chinchiller stone things with mine or a glass jar filled with ice cubes. I don't trust chinchillas in the slightest!
I also give them ice cubes to eat if it's hot and they love those. :)
