I'm sure I'm not the only one here that has gone to absurd lengths to make sure their chin is comfortable so I'd like to hear some of the other bizarre things people have done to spoil there chinnies.
When I was back in my old apartment the air conditioner I had was adequate, but I was always worried about keeping the heat down on a really hot day since I was up on the 3rd floor. So I made the chin fridge. Basically it was a 1ft X 1ft heat sync that I built from a mini fridge, a water pump that's used for outdoor ponds, a bunch of copper plumping pipe and aluminum kick plates. How it worked was that there was a reservoir of water in the fridge and the water pump pumped the cold water out through the tubing into their cage where the tubing coiled around inside an aluminum box and then back out into the fridge where it was put back into the reservoir. I had to turn up the temp in the fridge and put the pump on a timer so it didn't run constantly because that box got would get down to 35 degrees sometimes. It worked great all summer and then the pump finally burned out because it was too powerful to be pushing water through that small copper pipe.
