Hello everyone, l would like to welcome you to ICU Small Animal Rugs page. About us: Our children are the 4th Generation in this rural area of West Gippsland. Our family for these past generations have been in farming of dairy and beef. My husband and l have been farming beef cattle on a small scale for over 20 years, along with the rearing of calves and sheep breeding. Now we are breedin

g Pure East Friesian and Pure Suffolk's sheep with a bit of cross breeding. Why Our Rugs: I would like to believe that in my life span of 50 or so years, l have seen and learnt a lot of taking care of new born and mature animals. We understand that to loose any new born's animals whether you are on a large scale acreage of farming, the Stud Breeder, or a hobby farmer is not only disheartening but also costly. It causes frustration and helplessness and you question yourself on if there is a better way to help prevent such loss. Benefits Of The Rug: To prevent or aid in the treatment of hypothermia in newborns. Long births, low birth weights and multiple births are all situations where an ICU Small Animal Rug can assist with the treatment and recovery process. The Material Of The Rug: The outer shell is a 3-layer lamented, it's waterproof, windproof and breathable. The inner layer is a double sided fabric that wicks moisture away, and is odour controlled. The Pouch: There is a pouch on top of the rug at the back over the kidney area, between the 2 layers of fabrics. This heat pad will give safe continuous heat up to 10-12 hours.

Tell us 📣📣
What works for you and why? Did you have packs of different sized ICU Rugs, stored away for lambing, calving or that one off emergency cow rug? Do you order what you need when you need it? Do you run with the same sized rugs as your newborns are usually a similar size.

At ICU Small Animal rugs, we have all your different options covered.
👉 different sized rug packs, for lambs / kids / calves
👉 different colored rugs (for easy of sizing, a quick grab in the shed, or identification.
👉 multi sized rug packs for the unknown newborn size.

Personally I use different colored rugs for our lambs, as it makes it easier for myself and the family to remember who is there mum. If we are lucky enough to have twins, they have the same colored rugs.

Tell us your system and what works best for you!

Soft Shell Calf, Lamb and Kid Goat Rugs/ Covers/Blankets/Coats
Why choosing a Soft Shell Rug makes sense for your Newborn Comes with a pouch to place a human heat pad or a Allrounder with no pouch. Not all newborns require a heat source. Can safely place on your newborn still not dried from birth, the wicking ability with our breathable top layer along with our liner is best to none. The fabric's are waterproof for those that their newborns are out side or in under cover Both fabric's have been treated against bacteria and mould making it a good choose if you have a problem in your pen with your newborns If your newborn is suffering from scours and it gets on the rug, just whipped the rug off and hose the scours off the rug (garden or tap) not your pressor hose. And place straight back on your newborn, the fabric will dry. This way you are helping getting the scours under control Washing of our ICU Small Animal Rugs is too easy for busy farmers, warm water or cold.
Liquid Detergent not wool softener (dish washing liquid)
White vinegar add to the wash will added benefits stamping out bacteria on the rugs
Then hang out on your line or inside, never tumble dry or bleach

The top layer has hundreds and thousand of breathing holes, and it's important not to harm these breathing hole by using powder detergents and take away the working of your rugs.
If looked after you will have years of service from our rugs making them an excellent investment with your future stock

Next post more in-depth on the word Breathable and why it is so important, along with what waterproof is and how much rainfall our rugs can handle.
