Heated base makes a great mouse house???

Just a heads up to those in the cold. Make sure that you have your heated bases on a sheet of plywood or something that doesn't allow little critters to crawl inside and stay toasty warm. They will eventually make more mouses and chew at the heating element

I picked mine up todayto clean off and low and behold, a pile of feathers were being packed underneath it. Needless to say, I got my solid board out immediately.

I like to put mine on something that isn't flammable, like a concrete stepping stone or paver. I don't like it down in the litter. Or a stepping stone on top of a concrete block. Maybe think about that, too.

I've been warning about this since I've been on this forum having lost a couple of these heaters when the rodents chewed through the wires. You have to have the bottoms completely covered. BTW, I just bought a new one from TSC made by( I think) Farm Innovations, that has a complete bottom cover. That may slow them down a little.
