Great Way to Cool Off Ratties in Hot Weather
Hey all,
My husband and I tried something today with our ratties (it is hot and muggy in the Seattle area right now) and I kind of feel like an idiot for not thinking of this before, but normally we do all the things like oscillating fans, frozen water bottles, fishing for peas, etc. but today I got out a couple of washcloths and soaked them with cold water, wrung them out and we just sort of draped them over each of our boys with just their heads peeking out and sort of softly rubbed the cloths over their bodies and swiped down their warm tails, and they LOVED IT.
Even when we took our hand away, one of our boys just laid there with his washcloth draped over his body and the look on his face was so sleepy eyed and euphoric looking, he just chilled out like that for several minutes, then groomed his moist fur and did a face scrub. Our other boy walked out from under his washcloth and plopped right down on top of it to cool his belly.
Maybe lots of ratty people do this all the time? It worked very nicely for our boys!
