How hot does your SnuggleSafe feel when you take it out the microwave?
I followed the heating instructions for my 900wat microwave - 5 mins, but it barely felt warm, I assume this is correct and it will gradually let heat out and stay warm all night without being *hot*.

When I went to put it in the house, no little piggies were in it - they were all under the step stools that hold up the bedding bales, which I've stuffed with hay. But hopefully they will find the heated house - also left a little carrot and sweet pepper in there.
 
That's right - they're meant to be warm - not hot - and let warmth out sowly.

Your piggies will find them if they need them . If they were in an area with plenty of hay - they undoubtedly felt warm enough insulated by the hay .

Thank you for the reassurance. I dare say I'll have to check up on them again before bed time!

:tu:.
 
Just went to check on them again. All three were, of course, totally fine. At least one had been in the house with the pad (the piece of carrot was gone) but they were all in the hay-stools and I even got to boop the nose of the crazy ginger one :-D Brown one looked confused that I hadent brought snacks and Scruffy one was ... just scruffy!
 
I have another question -are you supposed to microwave the SnuggleSafe with the fleece on? The packet picture suggested you are but the instructions are not specific. Also, how thorough do ou have to e about taking the hay off the fleece?

I'm not even sure they've been using it! I moved it last night to a place I know they sit, so hopefully they appreciated it!
 
iI don't think it matters if you microwave with the cover on or off. I always do mine with the cover off - but that's mainly out if habit
