Hello Everyone,
My husband and I recently bought a pig blanket (Kane heat mat 27"x48"), we are planning on building something to house the pig blanket and the torts this weekend. We have about 10 cherryheads that need a warm place to stay when the weather gets cold. We are luckily in South Florida so it is still hot down here. I have a few questions,
1. What is a good thermostat/regulator for the mat?
2. I read that since we are in florida, we should not put the mat on the floor as it attracts red ants (which I hate), do you attach the mat to the roof of the enclosure or the side? If it should be on the ceiling, how high up should it be?
3. How would you attach it safely?
4. Would one of the plastic sheds be safe? I saw Yvonne's CBS building and am also considering something along those lines. Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.
