    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Recommended space heater.

Would it be possible to build a large cage area, that would be easier less expensive and maybe safer to reliably heat, or just to heat their cages individually?
For one of my room ACs last year I bought a plug in thermostat where you plug the heater/AC in and it keeps a temp, it seems like it might be a good back up for any heating choice.
 
I would just look at oil filled heaters either online to order, or locally and grab the one you like. I personally went with a Pelonis digital controlled one from walmart.com and had it delivered (I think it was like $43 shipped).

That one is similar to the one I ordered. The one I ordered has a different control setup (push buttons with 5 degree set point increases. 60, 65, 70, 75, 80.) and comes with a remote.

How many hours do you run yours a day and how many months out of the year and has your electric bill drastically been impacted?

This current one I only recently picked up so don't have enough data built up for it. I use to use a dial style oil filled heater that I ran about 12 hours a day during winter. It didn't seem to make much of an impact on my electric bill really which was nice.
