And thank god for this forum!
I cam home from work on Thursday of last week to find that we had had a power outage! On this day the temperature was in the 90's. By the alarm clocks time I could tell that the power had been out for about 3 and a half hours! It was sweltering inside. I ran inside. My two cats were sprawled panting on the kitchen floor and the piggies we all laying in a circle in the middle of the cage! I was so scared! I opened the cage and grab each of them out bringing them into the bathtub. I ran some cool water to put on their feet and fanned them with news paper. Everyone was walking around and ok but seemed very tired. I drained the tub and brought them some wet veg. I then got everyone back into the cage and began to panic again. The power was still out. No fan or AC, what was I going to do? Then I remembered a thread I read on hear about summertime care. I ran to the freezer and grabbed bags of frozen veggies scattering them around the cage as well as ice packs in old socks. All of the pigs cuddled up to their own cool pack while I got the cats some cold water and let them onto the shaded porch until the power can on and hour later.
I am so glad everyone is ok!
