KittleRox 2,147 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I use the broth from cooked rabbit to keep mines cool, I pour it intae a cup, put an ice lolly stick init and stick it in the freezer I made blood lolly pops back when I used to buy lamb hearts for them a few years back out of the blood out of the vacuum packed bags they used to come in. I,m no sure if you,re winding me or no, use welsh are awe mental lol I'm serious mate! Mixed the blood with water and filled ice cube bags up with it! I was originaly taking the piss , I imagined the ferrets sitting in the back garden holding there rabbit broth jubilees and eating there chocalate sliders hahaha 1 Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not so keen on the wet sheets over the hutch/coop idea. Yes to water filled and frozen bottles with a towel covering them, water trays, bottles and water bowls, damp towels, but at the end of the day you need them to drink the water as well as stay cool. Again, I use Ferrets Formula, I put a few drops in a bowl of water the ferts drink the bowl and I know they've taken enough water. And frozen rabbit is not recommended! why? Basic hygiene really. Frozen meat out in hot weather will be teeming with bacteria and flies in no time. I don't see anything wrong with giving very small bits of frozen meat you'd know they'd eat pretty sharpish, just not large parts/whole rabbit that would be lingering about in the heat growing god knows what all over it. i take it you dont feed whole carcuss to your monkeys then, if you have enough of them how long do you think it lasts once defrosted No, mine don't finish a whole carcass overnight, and I don't like to waste meat Quote Link to post

I understand that its best to keep the meat fresh as possible when feeding, but leaving it in there for a day won't hurt. You don't see wild animals passing there nose up because it's got a bit of nose to it. My ferts aren't wild animals, their food is guarenteed It's really not my problem if a wild animal dies from bacteria poisoning, but meat and hot weather is a risk I'd rather steer well clear of with my animals. I wouldn't eat a day old meat that had been out in the hot weather, don't see why domesticated animals should have to either, but each to their own. Quote Link to post

terryd 8,698 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I just dampened a few sheets of news paper and threw them in the freezer for few minutes the two jills they enjoyed them and slide underneath them for a cool down. Only a temporary respite but better than nothing Quote Link to post
COMPO 54 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 talk of scotsmen with sunburn reminds me of when frankie boyle was on about the fella who stopped the terrorist at the airport.........saving a load of scots from getting burnt.......but thats what would have happened anyway if they had got that flight Quote Link to post
