  Has anyone ever used a chinchilla cooling stone for their buns? Looking for sturdy cooling options as Karou loves to toss things around & Alfred is a chewer (though it’s calming down as she gets more hay). I have fans for both girls and ac but my room still gets a bit warmer than I like on hot days. Right now I use frozen water bottles but I’m concerned Alfred may try to sample the plastic or lick the glue from the label.

  I have never heard of this, but I imagine it would be a great idea! I know my buns appreciate frozen ceramic tiles, but they warm up pretty quickly so have to be replaced often.

  I have the Kaytee “Chin Chiller”, which is the granite chilling stone. I got it for my first rabbit but he was more a fan of icepacks. I use the tile now to cover a spot of carpet that my second rabbit chewed up (and we can’t afford to have her do more damage there). Since it’s her nap area, she now rests her front paws and head on the tile daily and seems to be fine with it. I no longer refrigerate it or anything, but it definitely is slightly cooler than the carpet!

  Chin chiller, that’s it. The edges are smoothed out so even if Alfred tried to nibble on it she shouldn’t be able to ingest it.
