Bailey looooves the tile I bought them when it started getting hot. She’s either laying there or in front of the fan. However, Logan won’t lay on hard surfaces I think his old broken leg might be the culprit, or maybe he’s just very spoiled. I’m hoping this is soft enough for him- otherwise a fleece cover shouldn’t be too hard to make.

Oh shoot… I definitely didn’t think about that, Lis! Logan likes to “mark” anything that’s new and doesn’t smell like him. That might get yucky! I think what I’ll do is make the fleece cover and stick that in his pen so he gets used to it, then I’ll put the mat in, and hope that works for him.

That was my first thought- that ingesting that stuff could be very, very bad. But Bailey and Logan really aren’t big on destroying things (well, since Bailey’s been spayed, no more destruction )- I just make sure they always have some sort of toy, like a willow ball, and they’re all set. I’m planning on watching them closely, and taking it out if I’ll be away for any length of time. The problem with a wet towel is that neither of my bunnies will lay on wet stuff. If Logan pees on his bed, he won’t use it. If I wash the bed and give it to them while it’s still damp, he won’t use it. Heck, if lettuce juice gets on the mat where their dishes are, they foot flick away and won’t come back until it’s dry. This thing says it stays dry- we’ll see. If it doesn’t work, I’ll see if the animal shelter nearby can use it for their dogs.

Isabelle- I’m going to make a trip to the fabric store and see what I can find. Maybe they have something that’s two layers, something soft and something water-resistant. I was also thinking that puppy pads between the fleece cover and the cooling mat might work, but I’ve never bought those so I’m not sure how that will work.

I looked at the website of the manufacturer, and here’s what I found:
” If accidentally consumed it will pass thru system. The polymer is non-toxic. Does not contain latex.”
Of course, it doesn’t say what, exactly, the material is, so I’m not going to trust that. I’ll just be keeping a close eye on the bunnies

The marble tile I have is perfect for Bailey, but Logan just won’t use it, and he’s the one I get worried about when it’s hot out. Plus, I want to keep him on soft surfaces as much as possible, since my vet said that’s better for his legs.
