28 degree home advice please

[SarahxCavia]

Hello any advice would be much appreciated. My pigs are my bedroom on the 2nd floor it gets terribly hot when it reaches 27 and 28 degree worried about heat stroke as had a previous pig found in a bad way once. Thinking about getting an air cooler and wondering if anyone has had any experience using one to try cool the air of a room that is 27 degrees. Thank you

Please change your location to county/town rather than postcode. That information is readily available to anyone. You have to be wary what you put online.

I’ve no experience with air cooling systems. However, have a look at the guide below on keeping them cool.

Ive no experience of them either, but you don’t necessarily need to buy and use air cooling or conditioning systems. There are other things which work wonders in keeping rooms cool without using plug in items, so are therefore more cost effective.

My pigwigs enjoying a wrapped icepack during our heatwave last year

You’ll find lots of advice in the link above! I didn’t have an ac back then so I wrapped multiple frozen water bottles/ice packs in towels and put some inside oven mitts as well. I also put the pigs inside their playpen so they wouldn’t have to be on thick fleece. They were very good, drinking lots and waiting it out.

Welcome to the forum.
There’s lots of good information here but it takes time to find where everything is.
Keep asking questions.

I use freezer blocks wrapped in tea towels when it gets hot here.

We would love pictures of your piggies

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.
