Hi there-
I'd like to raise my night-time temps temporarily to boost the probiotics that I'm using (battling coccidia). I live in Florida so I don't really think I want to invest in a ceramic heat emitter because I doubt I will need it during the winter and I've heard stories about them starting fires. We have spent well over $500.00 so far on this evil parasite and there is more to come so I'd rather not buy anything I don't have to. I was wondering if anyone ever used a small heating pad to do this ..... I saw one in the drug-store for $12.00 (12 inch by 24 inch with a small pillow-case cover) and figured I could fold several towels over it and put in him to sleep with it. He rarely moves once I wrap him up and shut off the lights at night. I can't get up every hour to warm rice-socks.....I would go insane.
Any thoughts appreciated.
