My piggies are indoor piggies too, and what I do for mine is put one of
those little chiller blocks (for picnics and sandwiches) in the fridge or
freezer overnight, and then put one on top of their homes on a piece of
kitchen paper (to catch any drips) during the day. This means there is a
gentle settling of cool air rather than a draft. I don't put the block
in their homes as it would be far too cold for them to snuggle up to - brrr!
They don't seem to like the sound of a fan in the room, but I wouldn't
have a fan blowing on them, just to circulate the air. If it's possible
to keep the curtains or shutters closed but with a window open, that will
make it cooler too. Claire, maybe you could move Tea and Biscuit to
different parts of the house morning/afternoon, whichever is cooler at the
time?
Hope this helps,
Kay
