Is there a thermostat that can keep several cages at the same temperature? Any help would be nice. Thank you so much, ~Jennie~

Heating more than one cage?

I know of a couple, the most popular are Helix or Big Apple. All you need to do is plug a multi-plug adapter into the thermostat and then plug the heating device into the adapter. You have to make sure that the wattage does not exceed the thermostats threshold. I believe Big Apple is 600 watts. I currently have 6 Kane Heat Mats plugged into my Big Apple thermostat and it works great. Hope this helps

I, too, like the Big Apple proportional thermostat and use a number of them. A word of caution, though. The heater load on one of these without the power boost should be between 20 and 300 watts, not 600.

I'm sorry, that was my mistake saying they are 600, I dont know what I was thinking. Thanks for the correction
