Aldi pet stuff

Aldi have pet stuff on their offers this week, they have beds, cardboard scratchers, ramps and also cool mats.

I picked up a cool mat (about £7), impressed by how cool it is to touch without having to be chilled! Bunnies have of course completely ignored it
Its not too hot inside here tho, could be good for outdoor buns.

Cool mat (I got a medium and its about 2x the size of a pillow- I've got it folded in half inside a pillow case to minimise nibbling) https://www.aldi.co.uk/pet-collection-cooling-mat/p/083855220632000

Thanks for sharing that link hunni, they do have some great things in store. We have an Aldi just down the road so I will ask Paul to check it out.

I've been informed that B&M have cool mats for even cheaper!

As the bunnies completely ignored the cool mat yesterday I used it last night when I went to bed as it was boiling and we don't have a fan, I fell asleep before it got warm so I dono how long it lasted but it certainly is cool!

We have a B&M here and they do have some great stuff love. I have only been in a couple of times but they sell nice things at reasonable prices. I cannot sleep without the fan on either. I want to buy another one in case this one packs up as it has been going for quite a while.

They have cool mats in our B&M but I’m worried my two would chew on them

I’m actually away round to check them out soon, if my little cherub EVER finishes his lunch

Thumper: haven't you learnt the art of Cherub stuffing yet? I'm sure the buns could instruct where needed.

He’s a frickin nightmare with food!!

I got 2 mats but they didn’t like them so I took one back

I got 2 cooling towels on the return trip, on recommendation by a friend. Never seen them before! They’re amazing! Stay cold for so long! Little horrors are eating them tho so supervised use only. Which defeats the purpose really!

I think I may get one of those in case we have a heatwave here. Poor Holly, she is like her mum, she hates hot weather.

I'm looking to get Reboot a Heat Pod heat pad and a load of new fleece bedding.... Now he has arthritis I want him to have a nice, safe heat source and those microwaveable pads are fine. He is a daft rabbit when it comes to comfort; all fleeces are chew toys to him and I daren't leave his electric heat pad with him when he's well as he would probably have a go at it too. I'm thinking of getting a play house for him and try to get him to snuggle in it with the pad and a fleece... don't hold out much hope of success though, for a smart rabbit he's as daft as they come!

Thumper: Noah and food ... he's a typical male then.

I have two self heat pads for thundercracker one for his pen and the other for the carry case when it cold.
You can tell it works he lies on it when it colder but not uses it since the hot weather has came in.

Speaking of heatwaves we have one It is dreadful! I hope we have a nice storm to clear the air. Holly probably wouldn't sit on a mat bought especially for her either lol!

I wish we had it a bit warmer here in Lincolnshire. It's grey and over cast and often quite chilly and has been for a couple of weeks .... since the Bank Holiday in fact.
Reboot won't sit on his fleeces either.... rip 'em up, yes but not relax on them. When his chair arrives I'm gonna try Reverse Psychology and use it as a foot stool for a while and shoo him away from it. Make it clear it's not his .... maybe that will work!

We don't have a microwave and I've been thinking of getting our boys a heat mat, I'd found these ones, pricey but probably the only electric type that would be suitable for buns https://www.petnap.co.uk/acatalog/Flexiguard-Petnap-Pet-heat-Pad-2.html

It is very warm and muggy here today, it is awful!

I dont have a microwave either thats why I went for the self heat one kept him warm going through to esinburgh in that snow xxx

This is the one I got for Reboot when he was ill at Christmas. I bought his from my local pet shop at cost (about £20 I think, certainly less than shown here).

It certainly gets warm and he was very snug on it with his injured leg.

That looks ideal for a poorly leg Woodwench love, I could do with one of those for my hip
