Cooling plates

[Fluffy17]

Hi guys! Has any of u ever tried using cooling plates? I was thinking of buying some for the summer, i already tried buying cooling liners and they are great! But was wondering of these are somewhat better my only issue is that pee won’t obviously go through

I freeze bottles of water or put heat pads in the fridge overnight. I’ve never used these cooling pads but maybe someone has.

I do the same as @Siikibam. A bottle of frozen water in a sock or cold snuggle safes.

Same here also - ice packs wrapped in towels, frozen bottles of water or snugglesafes put in the fridge to go cold

Thank you all! How long do frozen bottles last?

I’d say most of the day as when they are not frozen anymore they are still cool.

Chilled ceramic tiles may also work, although not every guinea pig will use them.

I think it's a good idea to wrap any solid frozen thing in a towel anyway, to avoid burning their skin, so the towel will take care of the pee.

sorry to jump on the post guys but want to ask you are meant to cover the snuggle safes once they’ve been in the fridge aren’t you?

Technically Snugglesafes are for heating rather than refrigerating but I have refrigerated them though.
I do not cover if I refrigerate them.

You need to wrap frozen things to avoid freeze burn, but not just things that have been in the fridge. If the pigs find them too chilly they will move away.
