| What are the min and max temps for a hog in a viv ?
As our heating is off during the night will a heatmat be sufficient or will I have to proide another source of heat as well / instead of? If so what do you recommend? | |

| My Girl's room is around 20-22 degrees without any additional heating 'cos the water tank's in there.
The plan is for Junior to live with them. I have a large heatmat in the zz and have the thermostat set at 22 degrees.
Obviously, I'll tweek it to suit him.
