[Gpdd] MISC- keeping piggies cool

[Dana Felice]

It's crazy - it's warmer up north than down here in Florida!

Offer snacks of watermelon & cucumber and change drinking water more
frequently.

Would Mimi lie on a ceramic tile?  You could probably get a 12 x 12 from
Home Depot for a couple of dollars.

My kids don't like frozen water bottles eithers.  The bunnies ignore them
and the guinea pigs try to eat them but lose interest.

Hey! I'm looking for some advice on keeping Mimi cool. It is majorly hot
here in PA with temps around 100 degrees or higher. We have air conditioning
but can only afford to keep it around 79 degrees. I also have ceiling fans
running. I worry Mimi will get too hot though. Especially now that she is
older I worry. I tried freezing a water bottle & putting it in the corner of
her cage, but she was so terrified of it I had to remove it. She is such a
timid piggie, afraid of her own shadow. Any other suggestions on things I
can do to keep her cool? She seems ok, but you know I'm just not happy
unless I have something to worry about! Thanks!
