What To Do About Muggy Weather

[CarnivalPiggy]

Where I am right now, it's incredibly humid/muggy and inside mainly. I'd open the windows but I'd invite bugs or the rain in and Ginny's a bit sensitive to the cold. I'd look at the heat management thread but it's not sweltering hot, more just very muggy/dry if you know what I mean?

I'm also quite worried about the fleece becoming damp in corners and attracting bugs or the hay becoming too much of an insulator as it's in a big pile in a big hay tray/small cage. The girls are long haired - how much should I cut off? It's only 13c compared to 24 yesterday but much more humid and gross. Thanks for any advice x

I would leave door open to the room. Frozen water bottles against side of cage so as they melt it will be cooling.

I would give them a good trim and not show them a mirror

Thanks

Must admit I'm not the best at cutting them with style so I'll keep the mirror far away

Bribe them to keep still a pot of parsley always go down well. They will be so distracted eating it they'll hardly notice you giving them a trim.
