Oh, if that's what happens, I have it placed up high where they can't reach. Never had a problem, but I worry about the fire danger...

I have a rabbit cage on short legs. I took the bottom tray out leaving a good gap on the floor. about 6inches. I took the protective wire off and wired it to the top of the cage. They can go under or through the open door into the cage and get warm. The big ones can not. so it keeps the littles warm and they dont get smooshed. Ingenious .

That is why i enclose them.

Here you can see the box, wire underneath and on 2 sides. The front is hinged so i can change the bulb. I need to make another box for the other side.

you can take some hardware cloth and just bend it around the opening. anything breaks it aint going anywhere.

If its too high it wont help w heat, No place in a coop they cant reach and better safe then sorry.

oh and I also put a flat brick on top of the cage that gets warm right next to the light where bigger chickens can sit and warm up. The bricks keep them from pooping on the littles under them.
