Cool pads? Any other ideas?

[ladymuck83]

Hey the shed got up to 30 degrees inside so had to move the guinea pigs inside until the weather got cool. Any ideas on keeping them cool inside the shed? The only thing conducting heat is the roof as the rest is insulated with foil liner for keeping cool as well as warm in winter Do you think I should insulate the roof? Or possibly make a second door out of metal so can leave the door open? Or have a cool fan in there? They love their shed so much as they have so much space it’s bit too noisy in our house but if gets too hot at least I have that option as my living room is always cool!

Anyone tried the cool pads? Are they any good? Any cool fans not needing electricity?

Put the pics of what we have at the moment thanks for the advice on the ramp with sides they LOVE IT

Last summer when it was really hot here I used freezer blocks wrapped in tea towels which I put into the cage.
I also kept the blinds closed to keep out the sun and ran a small fan to help bring down the piggy room temperature.
I can’t link as I’m not very techy but there is s thread on caring for guinea pigs in hot / cold weather

Thank you will have a look for them - the freezer blocks sound like a good idea. Mine seem to love chewing plastic so will have to put them in sewn up tea towels ha. Thank u

Just want to keep it cool in there so hoping to find some info
