Another question

Ok so where in your viv do you put the heat mat i know it goes under the liner but does it go in the middle of viv or in the beding area?

the way i have inca's viv se up is that the heat mat goes on one end of the viv (if you are using it underneath the liner) then you can pop your pouch/hut on top of that and your wheel and litter tray on the other end xxx

If I use one half of it goes under their nest box and the other half in the viv

Hey Leslie, because I use zoozones.... I put the heatmat on top of a piece of melamine shelf unit (to protect what the zoozone is sitting on) underneath the Zoozone oat the end where the igloo and sleeping pouch is.... If any if my hedgies using a heatmat were too hot, they can then move away fom the heat sorce to a cooler area.

If I were to us a viv, I would put it under the fleece liner in the same place or tape it up on the back wall....

If your going with a viv Gem i would place it under the igloo ...x

ok thanks everyone.

yeah mine is under the bedding...but when mav got to hot...he slept in his tunnel...

Depending on the size of the heatmat you can always tape it to the back of the vivarium wall and then it gives out an ambient temperature all the time.

tape to inside or outside viv? its 11x 11 inch.

You can long thin strip ones for that, can't you?

You can get long thin strips but if I were to go for this option I would use a bigger heat mat x

I would use the bigger heat mat too .x

so is it more important to keep the warm temp all of the time? or should it be warmer in the day while sleeping or in the night ? sorry if its a stupid question.

you need to keep a over all temp Gem .. x

ok thought so.

gem i use my heatpad at one end of the viv and on the other end i have a thermometer so i know the temp throughout the viv, and i can see if the temperature is staying constant xxx

Me too Gem, that way choggie can decide to find a warmer spot or cool down somewhere....

No question is stupid missus!

Thanks everyone i will put it in beding area.
