Edison is in an exo terra so in a similar situation to a detolf. I have been rotating ceramic tiles between his cage and the freezer. They may not sit on them but it should help cool the air around it. I've been putting an ice cube on it too to provide cool water as I don't wanna freeze bottles. I've just also made some 'hamster ice lollies'. Ice cubes with a couple of drops of fruit juice and a few with bits of nectarine. Eddie has also decamped from his bed and is curled up (rather adorably) in a random corner. Extra cuteness is that he has taken his crocodile chew with him. I'd normally worry about the move of bed, but who am I to criticize, I slept on the kitchen floor with a wet towel last night. I've also been giving his tank a quick blast with the floor fan when I can to circulate some air.

Anyone with any other ideas? The cool towel trick didn't work for us.
