I have a question.... My hubby bought a Hov-a-bator brand incubator for me. During the day the digital thermometer (bought separately) reads 102-103 with a fan lightly blowing on the unit, and at night it drops to 98 with a sweater wrapped around it. Are these temperatures okay? Is there anything I can do to stabilize the temperatures better?

Did you calibrate your thermometer? For better heat retention you can add a heat sink to it.
