Heating pad

Will this heating pad work for a brooder if I make "tent" out of it?

This appears to have a 2 hour auto shut off, made sure to read description carefully. Most have the auto shut off. You would have to turn it back on every 2 hours. I bought the Sunbeam XpressHeat model 2013-511 from amazon just a couple months ago. You can turn off the auto shut off. I have been really happy with it. The chick's have done great.

As mentioned the one you're looking at has an "auto shut off", you need one that doesn't shut off. I purchased the Sunbeam 732-500 from Amazon (no shut off & only $14), works great!

Can you link me to the exact one?
Thank you

Have not "learned/figured out" how to do that ... Hang on will try something ...

EDITED: Ok, I don't know how to do it. Go to Amazon, search Sunbeam 732-500 ... Not sure what the price is now but when I checked the Spec says it has a auto shut off but when you read the reviews, it says not. If there's a Walmart in your area, check there too. Sorry I can't link it, need to learn how to do that.

One thing to keep in mind is the size , some are 12" x 15". Others are 12" x 24". Mine is set up like a cave with a flat top, now they prefer to sleep on top of it!

That is the same heating pad I bought a week ago for my first ever chicks coming June 6th, after reading that it does NOT have an auto shutoff in the reviews.

It seems to work great, I have it wrapped in towels and duct taped to a cookie cooking rack, will raise it with various arrangement of screwed on 2x4s as the chicks grow.
