I have those "stick to the bottom of the tank" undertank heaters. The one he's in now has a hide over the undertank heater. The digital probe I put in the hide reads 94F. He's also got a hide on the other end, that end reads 74.56F. I also have a empty tank, just like the one he's in. I plugged it in overnight, and this morning The hide over the undertank heater also read 94F in that one, but the cool side hide read in at 71F. I think the difference is because the tank he's currently in is in a stack of tanks, and the heat from the tank on the shelf under his is making his cool side warmer. The empty tank is on a stand across the room all by itself. Do you think I should take him out of his present tank and put him in the other one? I haven't touched or handled him for a week and a half, not wanting to upset his stomach further. And he's actually looking interested in feeding in the last day - will moving him harm him or put him off? I REALLY want to be able to feed him as soon as I safely can, but also want to do my best to assure he will be able to retain his mouse this time. Thanks so much for you time and experience in this!
