We have nibbling but no poop yet
That’s a great idea. I’ll have a look around for things to wrap one in.
I sapose I’m wondering if they are chewed are they safe? I know not ideal I’m just worried as with every thing new I introduce to them.
towels generally no, as they unravel if chewed.
fleece is iffy, I always recommend polar fleece as its also called "anti-pill fleece", I know that is 100% a fleece that doesn't unravel if chewed. it also doesn't pill making it harder to chew from chewing a pill, and if they do get their teeth into into it it doesn't just fall apart. I'm not sure about general fleece?
a few of the cheap hot water bottle covers are fleece so they don't unravel as easily (if all fleece is harder to chew that is).
the actual snuggle safe cover also looks to be fleece.
I think your buns are indoor right?
I suppose I am thinking that if they are indoor, the only time you'll really be offering a snuggle safe is if they are unwell - like in stasis. most of the time in stasis they're very lethargic and don't really do a whole lot. I know all of mine have been overly chilled and accepting of everything as they're uncomfortable and "can't be bothered" :lol: I'd be extremely surprised if in the middle of stasis they decided to chew the cover of it tbh.
I think it would be worth a shot because if they get cold, its a serious problem. I suppose snuggle safes really are apart of the "at home first aid kit" imho. when a bun is in stasis its so important to keep them warm to not cause further issues. other ways of getting them warm wouldn't be safe, such as hot water bottle or "hot hands". they could burst these. some people fill up a soda bottle with warm water but it could also be burst or be dangerous. a snuggle safe is the safest option, plus as I said you'll only be offering it when they're in stasis, so I'd be surprised if they chewed it while sick! xx
even when they're bonded I'd imagine if one goes into stasis you'd want to separate to monitor output (or I do), so if you do that would eliminate the other money chewing the snuggle safe.
