Where is the cheapest place to get a microwaveable heat pad from? Thinking of getting one for my girls & maybe the buns too, but want to make sure I get them at the best price :)
 
Heat pad for Piggies

I have been told by breeders that Guinea Pigs dont need heat, so long as they are not in damp or draught.....I actually have a heat mat which plugs in and i placed it under the indoor cage (which is in unheated conservatory)but was told not necessary!
 
Whether or not a piggy needs extra heat depends on lots of things, like whether they live in or outdoors, how cold the house gets at night, the age and state of health of the piggy and so on.

Also, a "breeder" is anyone who has put a male and female together and produced offspring. They do not magically know any more about animal welfare than any other animal keeper.
 
I came on here to ask this exact question! Thank you for all the replies and to the poster :)
 
Bertis is in an unheated conservatory and I worry he isnt warm enough. thinking of putting him in the spare room at least at night....
