Would the digital ones we use for under our tongue work? I saw my vet use a very similar one to this and it's small enough for bun's bottoms.

Just thought I would mention that most pharmacys do thermometers from around 1.99 - 4.99 i got mine for work fom Boots. But at least you have plenty of options.

This isn't aimed at BMH but thought I should menion that taking a Bun's rectal temperature is not a procedure that should be undertaken without being shown how to do it by your Vet. Serious injury could occur if done incorrectly.

I bought one from mothercare.

When Steve didn't feel well he popped it in his mouth, I thought I best not tell him where it had been before that
