Heat Packs

[den]

I bought a couple of these Geni heat packs for keeping young animals warm during a rescue. I can't stop playing with them! I wish it didn't take so long to reset the sodium acetate. I've discovered that if you wait until the reaction is finished after you pop the disc then vigorously scoosh them between your hands to break up the crystal, the heat given off by the reaction is almost to much to touch. I'll have to wrap them in soft cloth so the babies don't get burned.

Lower setting/shorter time when heating? Or is that bad for the pad?
It sounds like a very useful aid for any sort of animal rescue, wild or otherwise.

They're powered by a chemical reaction so I can't dial the heat down. You start it and stand back. Instant heat! INNA BAG!
