Helloooo I used cable ties in the end and they are shielded so no chewing however after searching for a while I couldn't find much on cooling degu's down other than using a tile which I keep putting in the freezer for them and having a fan on for them constantly but they still seem too hot

If you can chill something bigger like a big stone, it will hold the coolness for longer, you'd probably need to have two so one is with the goos and one in the freezer because it should take a while to chill in the freezer.

hey the chinchilla tile is pretty fab, i have one for my boys although i think summer has been and gone here the P@H tile is made of granite which is known for having a good heat resistance and staying cool without having to chill it more so than most other rocks *insert long boring geology explanation here* although you still can cool it to maximise the effect and have 2 on rotation. Its also a very hard durable stone so scratch proof to the max and it's quite pretty too but you can buy tiles way cheaper that do almost the exact same thing esp if you are going to fridge them

I've often thought that the use rice in a sock with a knotted end that can be used for helping to warm degus, could also be used to help cool them simply by placing the rice sock in the freezer.
