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

Product Information

What makes the Hottie so safe is the liquid is none other than natural water and a small amount of anti-mould preservative.

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. Rabbits require a sufficiently large outdoor enclosure to be able to move around extensively, perform their natural behaviour and keep warm. Bit more difficult with a hutch as the tubular heaters need about 2ft clearance above them, so of no use to you. Be careful not to point the heater directly towards your rabbit, and always monitor the heater and your rabbit during use.Simply microwave the pad for a few minutes and it will provide up to 10 hours of warmth, perfect for lasting the night. It's advisable to bring your rabbits inside, or at least into a garage or shed, when the temperature falls below 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, but above these temperatures there are several other methods you can use to keep your rabbit hutch warm. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .

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 paper material contains a unique cell structure, enabling it to absorb an unbelievable amount of locked-in liquid which is the secret of how the Hottie retains its heat for hour upon hour.

So, if your rabbit's ears are very hot, it could be a sign that air temperatures are too high; if they are very cold, it could be a sign that air temperatures are too low. At night we hung tarpaulin over the front of the hutch (I shut them in from their run at night) to keep out drafts. Wrap the pad in a blanket before placing it in the hutch to protect your VIPs from scorching themselves.

To be honest I'd have thought that partially heating a hutch would do more harm than good apart from on the few really bitterly cold nights that we have.

This is really necessary to help lubricate the tip of the thermometer to make inserting the thermometer easier- for both you and your rabbit.

Rabbits hide illnesses very well and there are a whole multitude of reasons why a seemingly young, healthy rabbit would die in winter (or indeed at any time of year), and I would suspect that cold is nowhere near the top of the list of prime suspects unless the rabbit's accommodation was not packed with clean, dry bedding, leaked water, was covered over so 'well' that there was no ventilation, or the rabbit was taken between indoors and out during the colder weather. The main benefit of the heat pad is that you can set it on a timer and is more convenient for example if you are away overnight. So I rigged up an electric space heater set on tile on low, just on the outside of their secure play pen fencing. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

Not used one, I wouldn’t unless a Vet said too, bunnies can get too hot, they have a fur coat for winter, it’s sometimes difficult to tell if a bunny is too warm and he or she could get very poorly, Olly has lots of Blankets so if he does get too hot he can move them, I put the heating on if it is very cold for 20 minutes then I use my heat pad for myself, bunnies can survive tempratures that are very cold, I used to live in the countryside and early in the morning I used to see bunnies playing in the snow when I drove passed the fields in my bus, there were bunnies playing in the snow having fun, but I did see Olly in January build a little burrow with his hay when it started snowing, it’s more natural, lots of hay and blankets is best, I think. If they don't want it there's room for them not to use but everynight, so far, they've been piled all on top or around it. The most important thing with that was making absolutely sure my rabbits in the pen couldn't manage any contact with the heater or it's power cord, as well as having a safe non flammable space around the heater itself.The topic was posted to get some feedback from people who have used something similar and i can appreciate many on the forum dont use them and just weatherproof their hutch - hopefully someone with some real life experience can offer some advice. Maintaining a healthy temperature is important because rabbits can suffer easily from heat stroke if they are allowed to get too hot, hypothermia if they are allowed to get too cold. 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. It gives me peace of mind that my 4bantams can snuggle up with the pad and that the warmth lasts most of the night.
