If it does not BURN your hand, it is not likely to be a fire hazard. One thing you can do if you do have such concerns, is to place pad on some ceramic, or clay tiles.I guess it’s a bit of a fire hazard
Sounds great! Thanks for the tips. It is not hot enough to burn my hand but I did have some ceramic tiles kicking around , so I put them under just to be safe . The chicks like to snuggle in that spot the most. They’re not too cold cuz they spend lots of time roaming but when they do settle they lay down in there.If it does not BURN your hand, it is not likely to be a fire hazard.

A 18 x 18 inch tile like this costs about $6. If you have any kind other, laying around and are smaller, just use more than one.
