I got one of the self heat pads from B&M a few days ago. Thought I'd let them try it out before the winter & it's defined a hit with Nala. Only downside is it's so good she won't move off it to go pee, the cover does goes In the machine tho. At only £3.99 you can't go wrong, might invest In a few more

Which section of B&M are they in please ?
 
I got a b&m one the other day, they are in the pet section sold as a dog/cat bed. So far my piggies have not ventured onto it though. I also got a snuggle safe for when it gets really cold, I'm currently trying it out myself and it certainly does get warm!
 
Ordered a snuggle pad and also a self heating thermal blanket from Amazon - so if they arrive today I will let you know how I get on - going to use the snugglesafe pad with the piggies and going to try out the self heating one with the cat - my boys are staying in and cuddling up in the bedroom area a lot more in the evening as its getting colder in the shed, so I think they will love it!

really going to town with topping up their bedding at night to keep them extra snuggly too. :cool:

I'd be really interested to see how you get on with the thermal blanket.

giving that to the cat as I don't want her sticking her claws in the snuggle pad! lol She is only staying in the shed at night till the builders finish the house, after that the piggies will be getting it all the time.

should really get one for myself too - would keep my bum warm as I sit at my desk typing away lol!
 
Don't think your cat will be able to damage the snuggle safe heat pads - they are solid! I've used it in bed to warm my feet up and it stays warm much longer than a hot water bottle - all night. But I was disappointed to realise I wouldn't be able to use it to keep my body warm in bed because it is so hard. I wouldn't want to sit on it either!

It'd be great to hear how you get on in practice with it and also with the self heating mat. I've only used mine indoors for the fungal piggies to sit on when they'd been dipped and I had to let it air dry but wanted to keep them warm. Oddly they would sit near it but not on it....
 
Hopefully it might come in the post today - that's great the cat won't puncture it! Shed really frosty this morning, all misty outside too, autumn really kicking in here at the moment, think I will need to get more of these :nod:
 
it has arrived! just popped it into the microwave and then will be taking it out to the boys as its cool today - will be interesting to see what they think of it - is it a bad thing to leave it in during the day as well as the night? will they become very lazy and just sit on it all the time - or should I reserve for the evenings only :blink::D

going to pop it in now though just because I can't wait to see what they think of it! :lol!:

edited to say: as soon as I put it in the bedroom part of the shed the boys sat on it looking all smug - I covered it with a larger piece of fleece, tucked in underneath too, and will keep the lovely cover for when they are in the pen in the house. Spud usually loves to run around the shed during the day so the fact he's plonked on top of it shows its working.

will give a proper review once I see how long it lasts!

I've not started using mine yet as it will get so much colder than it is now, but the bf keeps telling me to start using it
 
Well I can highly recommend the Snuggle pad too, my boys love it especially Spud who never normally stays in the bedroom area if I am messing about. As soon as I put it in he was on it and stayed there.

Heats quick enough in my microwave (7mins for 700w) and is very sturdy, so hopefully will last for a while - may need two eventually as can't be totally they will share one for the whole night - they are big boys. Did go softer at the edges once heated, so not sure if its meant to do that or not, but will keep a check on it for any wear and tear.

I am keeping the lovely paw print cover for when they are in the house, and just wrapping the pad in old fleece for the hutch - that way I can also microwave it in the new cover and not transfer any hutch stuff to my microwave - this is more for my OH benefit than mine as I clean it with animal disinfectant anyway each time its removed.:doh:

The self heating mat arrived too!
NEW WINTER FLEECE SELF HEAT / HEATED PET MAT BED PAD CAT DOG RABBIT KITTEN PUPPY" from amazon
  • It was also better than expected, quite large, and good thick fleece on the top surface - I sat on it (to test it ...no really what better way!!) and it does heat up slowly so I am assuming anything warm sitting on it will do the same - have given it to my cat for now - she loves it.
  • Quite quiet when crinkled, not loud which was a reviewer commented about on amazon.
  • Zip along one side so you can remove the cover for washing, also means you could make similar covers for easy replacing when the cover is in the wash.
  • Has rubber dots grips on the underside so it stays put if placed on a smooth surface.
  • For anyone already using a fabric type bedding it would be easy to slip the thermal inner part under that so that can save the cover and just wash your bedding as usual.
  • Didn't cost very much, £6 ish, so worth a go if you are interested!
As the Snuggle pad is sooo toasty when heated I am confident it will keep the piggies happy when winter hits - will just need to check just how how hot it is in the middle of the night to confirm that.:lol!:
