MHP rocks. As does @Blooie's advice. If the heating pad is warm to the touch it is warm enough. I posted a small article last week. We showed a couple pictures of the temp of the pad on medium and the temp a few inches lower. Last year was our first year using MHP. It never occured to me to even measure the temperature.Glad you turned it down. The average temperature under the cave, measured at the floor, is between 82.5 and 86 degrees so I think you may have solved your main issue. 95 degrees is way too warm under there when you factor in how closely they lay together and their shared body warmth. It may take the Fussy Four a day to be willing to start using it again. They don’t trust it to be comfy now. Keep trying! You’ve got this!
