He'll like that I'm just going to put Lola out to see if he prefers to go out earlier and stay out longernot too bad thank youeasy half shift today! got a 'play pen' made up for fido last night so hopefully he can get out for a bit today
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Mine too! I complain about our weather but wouldn't want to live anywhere hot - just want some nice days for Lola
toying with the idea of setting up a make shift stand for mvb but think it might be ok without, gonna take out thermometer to be sure though
Hi Lyn, glad to hear from you.
Yes. Not much sleep, a very annoying heat wave, being imprisoned at home and so on. That's more than enough: don't want to give you a headache.
I couldn't imagine you living here for anything Lyn. But...what of the weather in the Gulf?
No far too hot for me still! I'm fine where I am thank you,
Further north or Scandinavia would be OK too,
I would rather be too cold so you can add extra layers to warm up than too hot when you can't get comfortable.
Is there any sign of the heatwave ending or is this likely to continue until the other extreme kicks in?
No real value in taking mvb out I wouldn't think and they are so delicate it could break.
I had to replace mine the other day as it blew because I knocked it when it was hot and they are not cheap are they?
As long as you find a sunny spot out of the breeze but with a little hide for him to retreat you should be fine.
Is Fido a grass eater? Some people use cheap kiddies blow up pools as temp enclosures for them.
arcadia bubls... haven't tryed yet but next time im putting old bulb in new box... returning for a refund
. heard they are good that way hee hee fido no likey grass, we have a large storage tub and coir ready to go... just need the sun lol
Now let me put it this way: temp is expected to drop but during Summer it would reach a MINIMUM of 30-32 degrees Celcius which is considered 'cool' so as to speak. This would go on till almost the end of Sept. at which point temp would SUDDENLY drop to 18-20 degrees Celcius for a few days only, and then....the freezing cold weather begins. Oh GOD...I shiver only to think of it!
Pets at Home have a no change policy - which is a bit mean cos they could have faulty bulbs.arcadia bubls... haven't tryed yet but next time im putting old bulb in new box... returning for a refund

We've got lots of sun but neighbours having flat roof done so too many nasty smells and fumes about to risk putting Lola out.
I knew you'd prefer the very cold weather. Most people do, saying what you just mentioned: 'One can add blankets, wear heavier clothes in Winter' which makes sense. But I just cannot adapt to the FREEZING COLD desert climate.
But even the Scandinavian countries?! I wouldn't live there for anything!
I think I'll stay where I am!
I'm sure it's very different to our winters - which although cold have been getting milder and drier - possibly due to global warming. I think all of our seasons are shifting and getting muddled up,
i hate that shop grrrr!! arcadia website direct i think does exchange, we buy mostly off amazon now
It seems so. Imagine that in Germany (Munich) temperature reached 35 degrees C!! Couldn't believe my eyes.
They did change one for me back in June as that just went - no bumps etc it was on one minute gone the next but they made it seem as if they were doing me a favour, but I did say to manager that if someone spends £40 in their shop you expect something to last longer than a month. Then I went and blooming broke it!
Yes its strange even in UK -as small as we are - it is often warmer and drier the further south you go. Our mountains affect our weather though and I wouldn't swap those for anywhere in the world! They are looking so green and lush at the moment. I couldn't live anywhere without mountains either.
i seen 'buy from pets at home, we'll donate to charity' ... it's something like £1 they donate for every £300 you spend! add to that i've had to walk out store empty handed on more than one occasion due to lack of staff! ...next time im walking out with goods in hand, sure someone will show quickly enough then
