UK heatwave: Carrot lollies keep animals cool

Lollies have been made by sticking vegetables in cups of water and freezing them

Carrot lollipops, ice blocks and mud baths are being used at a Warwickshire attraction to keep their animals cool during the heatwave.

Temperatures are set to reach 35C (95F) in the UK over the next few days.

Extra shades and fans have also been brought in to help the animals at Hatton Country World near Warwick.

"It is just little things in the heat of the day when it gets very warm, it just helps to cool them down," Alice Latham, from the attraction, said.

The ice lollies have been made for many of the site's 450 animals, which include sheep, goats and rabbits, while extra shelter has also been put up to provide shade for their human visitors.

They look like they are certainly enjoying the ice blocks. The white chocolate raspberry popsicles look delicious. Being that it's low carb is perfect for me. The coconut milk is a good substitute.

We also have to put up with heat of 35-36 degrees for next seven days. Be careful of heatstroke.

Your weather is beautiful at that temperature, any hotter and it would be too hot for me.

Los animales lo tienen que pasar mal, con las atas temperaturas. Esos remedios le aliviará un poco el calor.
Que tengas un feliz fin de semana.

I could just eat one of those lollies, the raspberry not the carrot.

The animals have to have a hard time, with the temperatures. Those remedies will relieve you a little of the heat.
Have a happy weekend

oh wow those popsicles look so so good. Sorry about that heat wave - ..you all aren't use to it over there. Here its' pretty common.
We have averaged mid 80's this last week but nights don't go below about 65 F. and its' humid.

Ananka said...

That is a great idea! The animals must be struggling in this heat too!

William Kendall said...

That sounds like a good idea.
