Hi all ok so I know I asked a similar question before but I didn't get major feedback and I have a couple new questions too so please post!
Ok so the heat has REALLY hit here and it's only going to get hotter! My piggies are refusing to give up they're fleece cushioned hidey's and my girls are insisting to go under ALL of the bedding. I know for sure it's way too hot but I don't want to stop using the fleece bedding so I think I may have to Velcro it down at some point!
Does anyone have any tips or ideas on something I can make that will give them the hidey effect without being heavy and holding heat? Baring in mind I am very limited on resources out here and if I order online it won't get here!
I was considers using chop sticks as a mass for a tent but I don't know what wood they're made form so kinda iffy about that! Plastic is like a sauna even with holes so I don't think that would be effective!
Can you tell me how you keep your babies cool? What do you switch to housing wise in the summer??
I'm aware of freezing water bottles and putting bricks etc under they're houses but other than this what can I do?
The other thing is I have to be honest, I clean they're homes all day long but I am now noticing some slight smell after only 2 days of washing everything, is there any other advice for this? I don't mind washing every day but it stresses them all out when they need to stay out longer than they want!
Any tips and advise much appreciated and will be very helpful!
Thanks
