Frozen bottles

[Shanj19]

I’m wondering what to do with the frozen bottle I’ve got? It’s a plastic sports bottle that I’ve frozen over night but how do you put it in the cage? Do you wrap it in something? Or just put it in as it is? What if they chew it? I was watching a video the other day and someone put an old tea towel around it and tied it with hair bobbles either end, surely if they chew it it can’t be safe? Any pics and advice would be fab! Thank you

I just wrap them in a hand towel/tea towel and lay it on the join - I don't bother trying to secure it at each end.

You'll need to have a few in the freezer so that you can change them

Here are mine. Just put them in. Holly is popcorning at present but will claim the first one by lying along side it any moment.

I just put mine in an old pair of socks.

I learn something new every day on here. That is a fabulous idea not only for the piggies but to re purpose all the odd socks from the odd socks pile!

No, definitely not! I think I've got a whole flock of sock fairies in my loft.

Do you take them out if you go out or are they safe to leave in there

Are they ok to be left with them or should I take them out when I’m at work

I leave mine in the cage when I go out. I also use old socks

I use the sock method too and leave them in all the time. It’s hot when I’m at work, so they need them. However, I have no evidence that they go within 6inches of my lovingly prepared sock-bottles.

Thankyou all for your replies! Roary and Thomas now have a beautiful heart sock frozen bottle

I used to wrap mine in tea towels like VickiA's are above. But, I've now swapped to socks. One of my past pigs, Anselmo managed to unravel the bottle from the tea towel and then roll himself up in it next to the bottle. He was like a little ice cube when I came home from work. I still have no idea how he did it

That's what i do too I knew I was keeping all those odd socks for a reason.

I wrap in old sock or teal towels

I just put mine in as they are, as they defrost, Luna and Stanley lick the cold condensation off the side.
