88% is impressive what type of incubator are you using?
all I can tell you about my incubators is they were constructed in Europe and measure only in Celsius They do not have a name or brand or any type of model ID on the units. They were purchased in Florida.

Exercise is VITAL for the long-term health of your babes. Absolutely as soon as you can, give them more and more space to run about in.
