Low temp

Post by Moonlightdreams » Sat Mar 31, 2018 7:46 am

I didn't turn the heat lamp on last night, and the temp dropped to about 68 for a few hours. I turned on both bulbs, so now two lights and a heat pad are on, so I can bump the temperature back up. Is there anything else I can or should do, generally speaking?

You should be okay! Try and get it up to 80 or 85 today so they can thoroughly warm up and digest.

Thanks, Wode. :) It's up to 78 now, it usually gets to 80 during the day.
