My buns have them and they are BRILLIANT!
Try Amazon.
I tried it myself to see how good they were and ended up buying another one for myself! I sleep on it at night.
I cannot stress how effect they are!
One of mine is a chewer too but he hasn't chewed it - think he appreciates it too much
Oh, why?! :shock: That's poo.
N&T are big fabric chewers but have so far left their snugglesafe instant cool pads mostly alone. They've nibbled a little of the edges but haven't got into the bit where the chemicals are. I definitely would not recommend leaving them in direct sunlight though, as I washed one (thanks to someone weeing on it) and left it on top of the run, and it expanded and leaked. This was in direct sunlight for many hours though
N&T do actually use their instant cool pads whereas they ignore their ice pods and frozen water bottles, so I'd recommend giving them a go. I think they like that they're flat and not uncomfy. They're also using some tiles which I've put down too, so that might be worth a try for yours if you haven't tried already? They can't chew them... in theory :shock:
I might just get one and see how they go with it. They sound ideal and they aren't expensive. Hmm.
Would they still work if you put a towel or something over the top of them? I presume not..just thinking if that would help distract them from chewing it.
The reason I wanted one was because I know they won't use the icepods. A damp towel is the only thing they use. I think they'd really use the cool pads but I'm worried that the stuff inside is not suitable to be chewed. :? I've also tried the frozen water bottles and they won't go near them. :roll: They do have a tile but it's only small. They also have laminate flooring to lay on. I just know that my room gets very warm, even with the window wide open and the fan on (it's a south facing room) it doesn't really do much.
I am worried about Xena as she really doesn't deal with the heat well.
When I go outside in the next hour or so I'll check whether it's still effective with a towel on top. I imagine it might work well with a damp towel on top as it'll transfer the cooling if it works the same as heat, but I'm not sure if it'll be any more effective than a damp towel on the floor :lol:
The only way that the big litre bottles work for me is when they melt and leave a puddle, which N&T walk through :roll:
The only thing I think really works for my two is wetting their ears down a few times a day. Do you put a damp towel in front/behind the fan? That will help as it'll be blowing cool damp air rather than just re-circulating the room temperature air
Shading the area so it doesn't heat up, spray the floor with water (which will cool it) and having something frozen to reduce the temp are the most effective options. A frozen water bottle on the top of the run/cage will cool the air below. It's even more effective if you contain the area in some way eg a pop up tent as then you're cooling just that section of air not the whole room/garden. Icecubes in the water bowl will have the same effect - cool the air around the bowl. They don't have to be touching it to work
I don't think icecubes in summer is going to make the water any colder in temperature to outdoor rabbits drink in winter, so I don't really see it being an issue
Just having frozen bottles in the room generally will cool it. You can also chill ceramic tiles in the fridge - which is less chewable :lol:
