Temps went down after lockdown trouble getting back up!

[mamakelly]

We locked down this morning and added the extra water. I'm having trouble getting the temps back up. I guess I should have added hot water. I didn't even think of doing that until after I noticed the temps were still 98 after about an hour. I hope I didn't kill everyon :-(

Don't worry yet. Mama's don't go into lockdown. Hang in there and wait.

Thanks that makes me feel better. It's so nerve wracking!!!!

98 isn't bad. I know of a breeder who turns his temps down at lockdown. I don't know why, but he likes to do it, and he's successful at it.

I've read that 98 to 98.5 area and higher humidity during lockdown is best. Dunno though still gaining knowledge myself.
