Tips For Keeping Teddies Cool?

[BertisKing]

I don't have any long haired piggies, but I do have two very large fuzzy teddies who are suffering in this heat.
I wipe them down with a damp cloth when I'm around but at the moment I'm leaving for work at 6 in the morning and getting in 12 hours later.
I've brought them inside the house for now where it's cooler but it's not really going to be feasible long term.
They live in the garage with fans blowing, frozen bottles and tiles but I was wondering if there were any teddy-specific tips for keeping them cool?

I think you are doing all you can there mate, the fans are a great idea and should do the main job. I do worry about ours in the heat too

I've found out that my pigs LOVE (and I mean love more than anything other than the hides themselves) frozen water bottles wrapped in a towel. As soon as they are put in with them they are lying right next to them all day, even when they melt a bit and get a bit damp. So I would really recommend those!

I think you're doing everything possible Beth. I have a fan on mine, too and they are in the house.
I also bought some ice cube trays from B&M that are in shape of the neck of a bottle so that I can pop ice cubes in the drinking water bottles. I also have cool blocks in fleece covers that I put near the hideys. I've taken out any plastic hideys and anything enclosed so all they have are arches, stools etc to encourage air flow round them.
