Thanks for reply, think this may be something for us to look into as does seem to be easiest way to control the temperature so worth it really .. it doesn’t effect the humidity levels too bad though does it ? Know they have to be kept low for piggies too don’t they? Xx

I don't think it affects them. We don't put the aircon in front of them. The air blower (I don't know the exact term haha) is facing away from them. It is really just to make the room cooler.

That’s brilliant news! Thank you so much I’m going to look into one and then I’ll break it to hubby that 300.00 air con unit really is essential guniea pig equipment 😂

We do get the benefits of it (piggies let us enjoy the cool temp too). :lol::lol:

Could you use a marble slate as well? I know some people use them for chinchillas as they stay cool after being in fridge for a while? New to guinea pigs too and mine are teddies so don’t want them to over heat either!

I use large marble bathroom tiles for the rats in the hot weather. It can consistently hit 38 degrees in my house during the summer highs. In fact it’s 29.3 right now in the rooms with no pets and it’s night time :eek:.
I also use cool pods, wrapped frozen water bottles and heat reflective blackout blinds for those room, keep the windows closed during the day and run the fans, although not pointing directly at cages.
