    28 degree home advice please

    If you cant get the air conditioner before it gets hot, try freezing a water bottle and put it in a sock, it's the same idea as RosieLily said. Another idea would be to make a temporary AC using a fan and a Tupperware filled with ice cubes and a hole cut out. 5-Step DIY Portable Air Conditioner...

    Hot weather warning for the UK - Member questions and heatwave feedback

    I know ignoring cooling elements is supposed to mean that they aren’t too hot, but I’d really really appreciate it if she’d just acknowledge their presence! She’s camped out in the plastic bendy tunnel. She’s dragged in a toilet roll stuffed with stalky Timothy and is quite happy thank you...

    shed too hot!

    ...summer when we had a few really hot ones I covered up the windows with sheets. You can always pop in something cool for them to lay next to if they are hot. I use bottles of frozen water inside socks. If they are hot they will sit by them. My garage is 18 at the moment. I’ve got the door open...

    Is this normal for my guinea pig?

    I put in a frozen water bottle this morning for my guinea pigs as it is going to get extremely hot today, one of my boys was picking at the sock surrounding the bottle. I wanted to check if this was normal, if he was trying to sus it out or is he didn't like it in the cage. It also almost looks...

    ...East or West and the piggies live on the East side, and I've washed my piggy fleeces which are drying outside shading the West side windows. So escaped until tomorrow morning, when I'll be up at 6am with my damp cotton sheets and frozen bottles in socks! Hope everyone and their pets all stay...

    Meet Jynx!

    And I suppose it's about time that I introduce our newest addition, now that she's asleep and I have some peace and quiet. Meet Socks! As you can see, she is not a guinea pig. Also affectionately known as Crotch Dog for sticking her head between my knees while I'm working, and digging...

    Scabs and wounds on back

    Hi everyone, another question on what to do I'm afraid about a piggles health. My one year old, has been getting markings on her and I don't know how to go about it, at this rate I might just put a sock over her..... I have 2 other girls and one boy but none of the others are aggressive, if...

    ...on all the time, rotating (but not blowing directly on the pigs obviously), the blinds are down and we have frozen water bottles covered in old socks for them to lay next to...which only 2 of them will go near! Of course there is ample cool fresh drinking water and veggies washed in cool...

    Can I give my guinea pig a PVC pipe tunnel?

    I'm trying to make DIY toys for my pig until I can buy some. I searched up if pigs could have cut socks filled with hay and it said yes, But I'm worried thread will be exposed around the hole. Is it ok?

    I rarely wear socks so our skinnies lick my feet! :eek: Nova is a black skinny so looks like a mini hippo running round the livingroom!

    2 year old boar whining when trying to pass urine or poops and making strange sound like an abrupt, harsh cough.

    The only thing I can do is ring first thing in the morning and hopefully get him seen by the afternoon. This really is a nightmare. He only started biting at it the last 48 hrs, I just can't understand why he has left it alone for nearly 2 weeks and has decided to pull his stitches out now. I...

    Wasn't someone looking for some photos?

    Thank you. It should sort itself out in another few days. I'm thinking, since they don't actually mind my doing so I'm gonna sit in here with them for a bit. Although Bann keeps nibbling at my socks and Camowen, my jeans, lol.

    Temporary Plush Cage Mate

    A few years back I watched a YouTube video about making a temporary cagemate for a bereaved guinea pig. I can’t find it now. Is anyone here privy to any similar tutorials or this video? Instructions included stuffing a sock with familiar-smelling bedding. Thanks!

    Worrying about overheating

    Pop some water bottles in the freezer and give them them with a sock or towel wrapped around them. If they get to hit they will lie next to them ☺️

    Best hutch thermometer?

    ...10 to 15 degrees cooler than the outside temperature I'd say from feel. Just walking into the chicken coop you feel it is a lot lot cooler than outside. Its 29°c outside at the moment. It was the same yesterday and they were fine. They have a cooling mat and about 7 ice blocks in socks to sit on.

    6 year Old Pig with health issues

    ...and my poor daughter's feet itched and went bright red... it was very obvious that it stopped at the sock line. Her skin looked like little red socks. She does have more sensitive skin but I think what made it worse was that she has moist little feet and that allowed any active washing...

    My little girl, little Miss Ariel needs surgery please help if able.

    BIG HUGS I am so very sorry that you have lost your precious girl on top of your other recent loss. Operation fees have sadly spiralled out of control. They are also doing that in the UK at the moment. Please try to take consolation in that she would have likely not recovered from the...
