I have just bought this insulated dog kennel for my leopard to use as his nightbox in his room.
Internal dimensions: 28" W x 18"D x 17" H
I have also lined it with foil covered bubble wrap as extra insulation.
At the moment he has a che and my central heating radiator to provide his night heat, but in an effort to reduce my heating bills I want to contain his heat so that I can turn the heating off at night.
So what would be my best options for heating a night box this size?
I'm considering a RHP run through a termostat at his level on the wall, possibly with tubular heating mounted on the ceiling. (I don't think there's enough room for the oil filled radiators many use)
ECOT Tubular Heater with Thermostat
The Dimplex ECOT 1FT thermostatic tubular heater is ideal for applications which require safe, low-wattage background heating for localised frost protection or as window de-misters.
Any thoughts or other ideas would be appreciated to make this as safe as possible.
