Description Thought this might be helpful to some people. ^_^
I had to do this today, it's really hot in our house and the AC doesn't really reach the rats, but this worked really well!

-Note: you should probably keep an eye on the paper towel, eventually it will need to be changed or it'll start raining on your rats.

This is a very good idea and I will certainly use it. It gets very very hot here in summer.

That's really clever, AND adorable. I kinda want a human-sized version...

So did you think of this yourself?

lizspit In reply to Arthulin [2010-09-03 20:21:05 +0000 UTC]

I used to just freeze water bottles and put them in the cages when I was younger, I don't know if someone told me about it or if I just did it on my own, But yesterday was SUPER hot and this idea just hit me. i tried it, and it worked great! so i had to let the world know!

Arthulin In reply to lizspit [2010-09-04 04:06:53 +0000 UTC]

That's some very clever problem-solving! My mom would say it's some classic Yankee ingenuity.

That's a great tip, Liz! Thanks for sharing it! My gerbils have been having a tough week, so I'll have to give this one a try.

LivingDeadProxy [2010-09-03 02:05:46 +0000 UTC]

I need to try this with my rats. The heat is horrible here, and we don't have air conditioning at all my two girls would love this: they shed something awful during the summer.

lizspit In reply to LivingDeadProxy [2010-09-03 02:12:57 +0000 UTC]

aw, yeah, deffinately try it! My rats crawled right into the hammocks, they caught on quick, I bet yours would too. It's horrible feeling helpless when It's so hot out. Frozen pea fishing is another fun idea to cool off ratties, though it can get a bit messy. :3

oh neat wish i had known that two years ago when my friends daughter let her rats die from heat exaustion

lily29174 [2010-09-03 00:44:02 +0000 UTC]

That's awesome, I would apply the same techniques to my rabbits, but they would chew the hammocks apart. I guess I'll just leave them out.
