Had my Snugglesafes for 8mths now and they seem fine when I put them in the hutch at 9pm of an eve, but I've never actually tested the longevity claim. Anyone tested how long theirs stays warm for? And does the warm-life reduce with use/age?
 
Think I might have to do a test just to see if it still performs the same now that it's had quite a number of heat cycles.
 
I have indoor piggies but still use them as it still gets chilly at night, i usually put them in around my bed time 11ish and they are still warm in the morning when I get up - 7am :)
 
I use mine for my outside semi feral cat in her kennel. The one I put in around 11.30 p.m. is still just about tepid when I change it at about 8.30 a.m., but probably helped by having a folded towel over it, and her little body on top of all of it. I bless them for her.
 
I would say it depends on the environment they snugglesafe was in. Out in a hutch at 0 degrees outside as it is now i would say 6 hours maybe. In a warmer house at 15-20 degrees a lot longer, probably 11-12hrs. So depends on where your putting it.

I agree with Abi Nurse. It depends on the temperature it's going out in.

A couple of times, ours have been slightly warm in the morning after being out all night, but sometimes they're stone cold. I wrap mine in tea towels, as the hay doesn't seems to stick as bad as it does to the fleece covers.
 
This is an interesting thread, largely as it reinforces what I was saying to my mum the other night, how putting a snugglesafe that only stays warm for 6-8 hours is not nearly as effective if you put it in much earlier than 10pm. The coldest part of the night is the early hours, usually 3am ish, so mine tend to go in around 11pm so they should stay warm during this time.
