Quote: I dont think so, just be sure its spreading heat evenly like that, and you may need to add humidity with more air let me know how it tests out!

We have 5 strong little stinkers!! I set my alarm to go check on the three unpipped at 1 am, well I thought I did, I went down 1:30 am and had five out and one had body smashed against its pip hole, I prayed it wasnt suffocated, it was.... It tried to get out and couldnt, everything absorbed perfectly, he was still warm and pliable, oh well only the strong survived. I will past him and his shell at the end of this post, I didnt keep track of which number he was in my rush to save him.

These are the shells some of them came out of.....
Chor mem almost went to the bottom of them









Pool little guy..... perfectly absorbed and silver looking

his shell.....

I have decided to let you all know an essential bit of equipment to have! A magic bag!!! I just went out and a chick had fallen out of the nesting box. it was cold gasping for breath and legs stretched right out and about to fit and die by the looks of it. ran it in the house, gave the magic bag a minute in the microwave then wrapped chick in it. He is still sick but standing and moving around!

Great idea! Best of luck with that chick.
