What’s the best Ways to keep outdoor guinea pigs cool during hot weather

[xlittlepiggiesx]

I was thinking of freezing veg/fruit in ice cube trays for them or putting ice into their water bottles, is there any other ways apart from shading there hutch and runs
Thanks x

Frozen food isn't a good idea for piggies, it could hurt them. You could try putting cold tiles in the hutch for them to sit on, and wrapping the bottle in a wet sock. Also hanging wet cloths eg towels in front of or over the hutch and run so any breeze blows through and cools the air inside.
Here's some other ideas/info on hot weather management with pigs: Hot Weather Management, Heat Strokes and Fly Strike
