Summer treats?

[Chloe04]

So it’s getting very, very hot here (30 degrees C at the moment!) and I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for keeping piggies cool?
At the moment they’re inside in the shade, and i’ve given them some ice packs wrapped in a blanket which they seem to enjoy lying on. They’ve also got a shallow tray with water if they want to go in it.
I’m thinking of something food-oriented maybe? Something nice, interesting and delicious that can help keep them cool? Thanks in advance!

Juicy cool cucumber goes down well with mine

I use melon and cucumber on hot days, The pigs always love it. You basically want veg with a slightly higher veg content.

Thank you! I gave them some cucumber this morning - Nancy usually refuses it but she seemed to enjoy it haha! I haven’t tried melon with them before, I’ll give it a try (:

Melon is Guinea Pig Crack. They love it. I gave my lot some melon skin today (a rare treat) and the gobbled it up in no time!
