there seem to be so many guineapig owners here,
it shoudl be remained.
anyhow, i think i read -6 tonight!!

Hi

I'm not sure about normal hot water bottles. The rubber may be toxic and if they puncture the bottle they could be burned and the water will freeze and make things worse.

Could you not bring your gps in for the night?

I have indoor pigs but we don't keep the heating on at night as cannot afford it. My piggies each have one of these at night. They keep warm for about 10 hours and my gps love them. They wheek when they see them and wait to hop onto them.

thanks, just got back to this. too late to go shopping

ah well, perhaps if i wrap in plastic and a jumper oth, the bottle will get cold

Can you bring them in?
In the hutch if necessary?
I have Texels, but even they are in now.

Ours are in too. The rabbit is still out though

no, i heard, perhaps on here, that they go into thermal shock, and can't therefore spend one night in, they have to be permanently in during the winater (?) and i have no room,

i must have been wrong aobut the abundance of guineapig owners here!
oh well.

but i have covered them with a blanket and the jury is out for the hot water bottle.
