House temps at night...

shafach · 14-11-2008, 07:48 AM

Hi all...
Me and hubbie are escaping for a week in the sun next week, so Mikey and Rallph are going on their own little holls to my parents home... We are keeping them awake this year (torts, not parents

) as they have had upset bellies, tho seem fine now...
My concern is about night time temps... at our home their heat and daylight are on for 12 hours and keep to recommended temps. In the nights we keep the central heating on constant, so the house and us keeps fairly warm. My parents however, turn their heating off at night, so was wondering if this will be ok for mikey and ralph? probably me fussing too much

, but i do worry about them...

any thoughts on what the night time temps should be ?

What i would do it take a thermometer around your mum and dads. One of those that has a min and a max temp on, reset it and leave it there over night and see what temperature it reads.

Some houses are colder than others

HIYA
I always turn my heating off of a night and Fluffy seems fine with it. I do check the temps though to make sure they dont drop too low, and he is in front of my radiator so that when it comes on first thing in the morning, he feels the heat nicely.
