Cooling Tile Pad for Hamsters and Other Small Pets

This little pad gives a small pet a cool place to rest when the room warms up. It is made of small tiles set in a grid, in shades of blue with a few white tiles, or in red and pink. The tiles are marble-style stone with rounded edges, and the surface stays cool to the touch.

It needs no power and no setup, so you can set it down in a cage, a hutch or a play area and your pet can climb on and off as it likes. The pad is small: the pads in the photos measure about 3.9 x 2.4 in (10 x 6 cm) and 3.9 x 3.9 in (10 x 10 cm). The medium weighs about 3.5 oz (100 g) and the large about 6.0 oz (170 g), so check which size suits the space and your pet before choosing.

Put the pad on a flat, level surface away from direct sun and heat. Pets can still chew things, so watch how yours behaves with it at first.

To clean, wipe the tiles with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If a tile ever comes loose or chips, stop using the pad and replace it.
