YUYUSO Rabbit Heated Pad with Cozy Fleece Cover for Bunny Guinea Pigs Heater Heating Plate

Product Information

I had seen the small pet heating pad but it was too small; I hadn't seen the cat heating mat so I will look at that. He has a super thick soft coat so I do think he stays pretty warm, but I think it would be great to get him a heating pad. The electric heater is well outside the cage on cement so it’s not near anything flammable and even if it were, if it’s not on completely level ground it shuts off so it being knocked over and rolling into something isn’t a concern. I’m equally paranoid that they’ll overheat if I put too many heaters near the cage as I won’t be able to judge their temperature as well with the rest of the garage so chilly. This is really necessary to help lubricate the tip of the thermometer to make inserting the thermometer easier- for both you and your rabbit.

So, how can we best help our furry friends through all the extremes the season can throw at them, especially those that live outdoors?Hi, a pad with a cord – however well hidden – doesn’t sound like a cunning plan, surely it’s not worth the risk, (my rabbit is houdini! My sister and her husband live a few hours away and during the summer they stay in the shed or a hutch in their garage. It is your responsibility to assess the information being given and seek professional advice/second opinion from your veterinarian and/or qualified behaviorist.

Something you also need to be aware of when using heating pads, putting additional blankets or pads on top will further insulate the heating pad and cause it to trap the heat in.At night we hung tarpaulin over the front of the hutch (I shut them in from their run at night) to keep out drafts. I’ve found these give a double bonus as they heat up an area in the hay which keeps them warm and if you find they are really snuggling in that area you also know they are getting cold. This Pet Remedy Low Voltage Heat Pad has been designed for Petsavers and the BSAVA (British Small Animal Veterinary Association) as a safe and effective post-operative heat pad (to minimise perioperative hypothermia). You need a weatherproof one because it's also chew resistant, and won't be as much of a problem if it gets peed on or water gets spilled.

Perfect for cold, wintry times, it is also ideal for helping with muscle relaxation, to relieve injury and reduce stress in times of recuperation. Recovering animals which use the heatpad should be monitored to ensure that they can move from the heat if necessary. Make sure to read the instructions for which ever pad you get, and don't place additional padding or blankets on top if it warns against doing so. I had heard about using heat lamps for chickens that don't produce light, but I'm hesitant with that option?House bunnies are the lucky ones in the colder weather, and they’ll need less manual preparation of space than hutch-living rabbits. I had an old bun that was arthritic and had hind limb paralysis, and she needed extra help keeping warm, plus my rabbit room was in a colder part of my house. If electric can be safely used where you keep your bun, the chew resistant weatherproof mat might be your best option as it's probably the most comfortable for rabbits to sit on and will heat through the night. You should also ensure that new pets are used to the outdoor enclosure in time for winter (from spring onwards). This convenience is paramount to me since i occasionally work away during the week for a night or 2.
