> 3 dayI am a wildlife rehabber. These are great for warming injured or small babies that have fallen from nest etc.. Note; If you use for a baby that is helpless and cant move off the pad on their own... PLEASE follow the warming instructions to a T as you can cause great harm if too hot or used improperly. You can, and should, warm with the cover on. Also, microwave wattage time instructions are listed on the instruction slip of paper...read this and know your microwave wattage....I actually had to call the place where I purchased my microwave to learn that mine was. If used properly this product is literally an animal/bird saver. Thank you.

> 3 dayThese items have been wonderful in keeping my outside cats comfortable. Even though I live in Arizona, the temps here in Glendale at times were the the high 30s, whcih can be very uncomfortable for outside living animals. My sister in New Jersey who I bought these for, also loves them because her outside cats have had to endure 20s, and lots of snow. So overall I would recommend them to anyone who cares about there outside animals. They hold there temperature even in the coldest temperatures for at least 7-8 hours, before having to be recharged in the microwave, which only takes between 5 to 7 minutes. These are a great idea.

> 3 dayContinued: After overheating, the kitched filled with a gas that irritated my eyes and made breathing almost impossible. The flooring was burnt and ruined. I was concerned about health effects so I called the US office looking for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). The guy I spoke with was unhelpful and he blew me off to their UK office, also useless-the computers are down.

Greater than one weekIf you are working with small kittens who need added heat, this product is a life saver! Heating Pads are dangerous due to the electrical cords - I know as I just recently had a kitten electrocuted who was chewing on cord for radio - she survived but spent 3 weeks in ER and has permanent damage and life time seizure meds. These are perfect to heat up and put in with young kittens or cats - we use them for outdoor adoption days when the weather is brisk and we want to showcase our cats and kittens for adoption!

> 3 dayWe have 2 feral cats that live in a utility shed with an attached enclosure. We have a pet house for each and place the SnuggleSafe pads between 2 soft pet mats inside each house. The pads are rotated day and night, so they always have a warm place to go. We didnt want to use electric heating mats and were so grateful when we found this solution for helping the kitties stay warm.

Greater than one weekThese work great! My outdoor cats snuggle on top of these in the cat shelters I provide for them. I have a pair of Kitty Tubes and a pair of insulated DP Hunter doghouses. Keeps them warm and safe.

> 3 dayWe had to move my daughters guinee pigs and hamsters to the garage due to allergy issues. These heat pads keep the animals warm all night. We reheat them in the morning and it works most of the day.

> 3 dayI have 4 feral cats who live outside, and in the cold weather, they need to keep warm. I put the SnuggleSafe heat pads under their bedding and they literally gravitate to their kitty beds and stay there for hours on end. They are clearly so comfortable despite how cold it is. This 3 pack completes my set of 4 and they and I love them. I have microwaved them over and over twice a day for the past month or so and they are very durable showing no signs of wear at all.

> 3 dayI have a hedgehog, so this product was recommended since hedgehogs are very sensitive to the cold in the winter and I did not want to use a plug-in heated blanket (they need a temperature of at least 70*F to be comfortable/happy, and even though they can handle in the high 60s they do tend to start getting sluggish). Kozmo (my hedgehog) loves this thing, and it works great. If you need to go on short trips in cold weather you could microwave this for a few minutes, with it staying plenty warm wrapped in an old pillowcase with blankets on top for the hedgehog to hide/snuggle under. Since hedgehogs will often urinate even in their sleep areas, this product is great since it is very easy to clean between microwaving with a wet paper towel or water and a little soap. The only reason this amazing product did not get 5 stars is because, at least for hedgehogs, you will need to buy two of the snugglesafe heat pads to use in cold weather. This is because frequent changes in temperature can really throw off the hedgehog and they may start acting a little crazy, as well as their sense of time being thrown off. Therefor it is best to have two so one can be heated to last through the night and the other for during the day. *****It is also important for hedgehog owners to remember that even when the weather starts getting warmer, it still might be to cold for hedgehogs since the household heaters will not turn on as often. I found this out the hard way- one day Kozmo tried walking, tripping and stumbling, eyes half closed, with his whole body shaking violently and he ignored his favorite treats or tried very weakly to gum them... I of course freaked out, called vets (it was late at night so most were closed), heated up his SnuggleSafe to put in a carry box with him and rushed over to the vet, really thinking he was horribly sick or dying. Of course, after getting there and sitting in the waiting room for an hour or so, he pops his head out of the box looking for treats- perfectly happy and back to normal thanks to the SnuggleSafe having warmed him up again. So if you see this type of scary behavior, try warming up your hedgie before assuming it suddenly has wobbly hedgehog syndrome, or other such things. Also, if your hedgehog does not come out to eat around his regular time, perhaps several hours late, it might actually be too cold to move- lift up its blankets to see and if its shivering/shaking or in a very, very tight ball and not responding like usual. Heat up the SnugleSafe quick, and maybe even hold the hedgie close to you for your body temperature until it is done in the microwave. Feeling the hedgehog can also tell you if its cold, since even the spikes will feel slightly icy.*****
