Hi Jill,
I doubt that you'd need a lamp in this weather. I've been worried that it isn't getting cool enough at night for Boris (I have to bring him in because his outside enclosure isn't secure from rats and foxes and things). Anyway his indoor enclosure is in my bedroom and Thursday night it never fell below 75 degrees, and last night it never went below 76 degrees (he seemed OK, but I found it difficult to sleep in that heat!). Does anyone know if it is bad for him that the temperature isn't falling to below 70 at night? Nina |

I move Flash into her house in the kids wendy house at night just because we get alot of foxes in the garden and I worry she may become their plaything for the night.

Mine tend to go into the shed between 9 and 10pm depending on what I'm doing. They dont get any extra heat when they go back in.
