few questions about a DIY incubator..

BabyStoleMyDingo Mar 05, 2008 02:33 AM

Hi All,

I really think my female is going to give me eggs, shes been lumping up and I can actually feel them, I counted 6 one time then another time I really think there was 8!! Time will tell tho lol.

Anyway, I plan on making an incubator out of a mini fridge that I scored free from CL. the fridge is 3'x 18" x18" How big of a heat mat(ultratherm) or flexwatt would I need? is there anyone that sells flexwatt all wired & ready to go?

Would it effect the insulation too much to cut the fridge door to add an 8"x10" window? (hmm i wonder how hard it would be to cut thru a fridge door lol) I could even double pane the glass.

Would a local staples carry a small computer fan? I'd prefer to find a small fan around town. or is my best bet ordering online?

Would a johnson or ranco be ok for this?

Wow I guess theres more than a few questions. sorry about that lol

thanks in advance!!
