If temp is truly controllable, should be fine.What a monster thread! I've been searching through for info on other sorts of heat mats, as it is really hard to find affordable therapeutic heat pads with a diasableable auto off here (Australia). I wonder if it's a safety standard thing.
Anyway, found this very cheap reptile mat, with temp control. I've searched the thread, and as far as I can find there's a few people who have used reptile mats, and no-one seems to be screaming about how they don't work and are a dangerous disaster, but there also isn't a lot of positive feedback. Does the brains trust think I'll be ok? I'm terrified of killing my first chicks in a few weeks.
Only 6If temp is truly controllable, should be fine.
Largest available is not very big(28x28)
How do you plan on mounting it...and how many chicks will it serve?
6 should be OK, hopefully they outgrow needing heat around the same time the outgrow the pad space.Only 6
I think I will decide on mounting once I have it in my hands, and I'll make sure to update with photos if/when I have some comfy chicks nestled under it
Curious if the heater temp can be adjusted with a dial or something?I noticed that the reptile heater got pretty warm when turned up (55c)
It is adjustable, and is currently turned down a bit. I was measuring with a infrared thermometer. I did wonder if it was emitting a lot of IR and reading wrong. Either way, they're nice and happyCurious if the heater temp can be adjusted with a dial or something?
How are you measuring the heat?
It should measure what ever surface the red dot is on.I was measuring with a infrared thermometer. I did wonder if it was emitting a lot of IR and reading wrong.
