    Please help ASAP... Having temp issues...

    For some reason the temp in our bator will be perfect for a few hours & then drop to like 95 or so. We found a quick way to bring it back up by using a heating pad on low, but my hubby accidentally left it in there & the temp got all the way up to 114!!! Is my hatch doomed now?!?!?!
