Hi again! Well its well into summer now, and its hot! hot! hot! Don't forget that all of your animals need a place to stay cool in the summer. Trees, man made shelters, ponds are great for your farm animals, even shade sails.
Heres a pic of me keeping myself coolIf you own rats, some of them love to swim, especially in the summer time.
Our rats even have their own little paddling pool. It consists of an unused paint tray, some tasty treats and of course some water. Fill the deep side of the paint tray with water, throw in some frozen peas, or something they love to eat, and they will love to have a paddle racing after their treats.
Its nearly back to school time. The Auckland SPCA school holiday programme was a great success. I had heaps of fun, meeting some great kids.
I can't wait until the next one, where I know we will have even more fun.
Check out the pics of our school holiday programme.

I know our rabbits, guinea pigs and rats enjoyed themselves, especially when the kids made them some vegetable wraps!!
They also loved being groomed by the young kiddies!
My mate Wayne loved the attention he got!
Thats the end of my blog until next time, have a great summer, and remember to slip, slop, slap and wrap!!
