Heat lamp good height?

[Lhope]

So I’m moving my ducklings to my bathtub for somewhere bigger, however, we do not have a big enough extension cord to have the heat lamp at a good height (The outlets in the bathroom don’t work so we had to do one outside the bathroom and around the corner) two a two weeks old and one is one and half weeks old and they just need to be warm enough to get them till tomorrow when I am getting a longer one

Maybe a little lower if you can, not much but some it's a bit to far to keep them warm enough. The main reason is babies can't control their temp. (As you probably know) but if you can maybe just a few inches lower.

Do you know of any other ways to keep them warm during the night? I literally cannot lower it any farther down

Uhm, do you have any heating pads? Or rice?

@Lhope do you know what the temp is in the tub where your little ducklings are? It maybe fine just tell us what the temps are? What is the temp in your home? Around 80* is a good temp.Make sure the heat lamp is very secure

a space heater on the floor in the middle of the bathroom to make the whole bathroom warm?

We can't close the door due to the cord being passed in between the door and the wall T-T

I was actually able to close the door and I also added a space heater in there for a bit

Another thing that I do when I have to raise my heat lamp up higher are use a dining room chair that has places to attach the clamp up and down the sides of the back of the chair
