heating ?

jndspendolini Mar 25, 2007 01:01 PM

we just moved into a new house, and all of our babies have a room to themselves...we have a space heater in the room, and the temp is running 87.7*F...and the humidity is staying the room by a humidifier and is staying around 55...I am trying to figure out if the space heater is enough in the room or if we need to hook up our heating pads and heat lamps??? any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Hooking the pads and lamps up couldn't hurt. Temp's have a bad habit of dipping at times.

Keeping air temps in the room that high might be a bad thing. Your animals really need to have cooler areas around 80 degrees. I'd turn down the heater to 78-82 and hook up the heat pads for a hot spot.
