wasn't too sure where to put this one lol.
either way i have 3 hamsters and a bunny to keep cool this year. and its already 30c and they're all suffering :shock: little robo robbie is sleeping in his wheel as hes too hot and ellie is lying on a shelf, i thought she was dead! rex is rex and still chooses to sit in a nest.
i also have luna who is getting a lot of wetting on the ears and coat to keep her cool. not exactly her favourite thing in the world but she gets a little petting afterwards and she forgives me.
ive got some old tiles ive been offering them. ellie tries to eat it, rex ignores it and robbie sits on it! (luna tried to smash hers)
i was thinking about making up some icecubes and putting a few pieces of fruit in each one. so one icecube might have some tomato, another carrot, another coriander and so on. but ive read so much different info.. one place says rabbits shouldnt be given icy water, another they shoudnt have cold water, another no ice cubes, another says ice cubes are fine, one says icy water is fine.. i think you catch my drift :lol:
so.. its it okay to offer them cold icecubes like a little ice lolly for the bun ? if anything in this weather luna refuses to drink warm water and much prefers fridge cold water. i offered her some water and i got a "really mom?", grabbed some from the fridge and she licked the glass clean!!
and are there any other ways to keep her (and the hams) cool? ive tried the water bottle method of freezing it but luna just tries to ruin the bottle :roll: :roll:
