Degu Cooling tile

[sophie9901]

Hey guys,

The warmer weathers coming now and I thought I'd share this cooling slab with you that I bought a few weeks back for my goo's.. You can put it in the fridge for a bit and then stick it in their cages for them to lay on when they get too warm! My 4 goo's absolutely love it and just thought I'd share with anyone else that worries about their little babies getting too hot!!

This is just one place you can buy them - There's loads of them about online and definitely worth a purchase!

I hope this helps anyone

we got ours from our local Morrison's supermarket for £3($5) allot cheaper than the pets@home ones which are £8 ($13) and exactly the same

That's cool! They are good aren't they! I just thought i'd let people know that didn't know they exist etc! I think they're great things I do worry about our goo's getting too hot!! Thanks for letting us know of some cheaper places!!

the other thing you can use is normaly bathroom/kitchen tiles, which is what i use, very cheap. You can wrap them in a tea towel and put them in the freezer over night, then take them out, take the tea towel off, because it will be really cold lol, then add a new tea towel, then place in your cage, my guys love them in the summer x

Thanks nicky that's a fab idea, I didn't even think of that!! I will bare that in mind in the future!

I can see why the tea towel is needed I am imagining their little feet getting stuck to the tile lol. ;D

i recently saw granite chopping boards in my local pound shop that are smaller than a4 size, i'll be using them if this weather ever gets warmer ^_^
