This is very interesting to me. We had a very old Chihuahua with cataracts. We used a red light bulb in a lamp for her at night so she could see to get water and food if she woke up. She did quite well with it. We usually leave a small night light on for the gliders and have never thought of using the red light as the little dog had to be put down from too many health problems. I am sure the bulb is still good and am going to give it a try tonight. We also have a box of the old-time christmas tree bulbs and they fit into the night light sockets. I wonder if this would work as well as the full size red light?? I can't wait to tell my hubby about this and find out what he thinks about it. He goes to bed a lot earlier than I do and usually misses out on seeing the gliders play. jump

I have a red heating bulb for my guy. Course it's in my room so during the nighttime if you look up at my window all you see is a red glow. And tonight's red light special is.... Glider time!

After reading this thread, i am definitely going to get some red bulbs tomorrow and see how the babies react. I know they dislike the harsh white light immensely. Thanks for so much great information and discussion on this topic smile

To add my two cents-- a red light bulb works for me as well! (Though, in worry of the 'cataract concern' like others, I use a tall lamp, and the shade covers the bulb completely. The red light is visible through the foggy, plastic lamp shade, but most of the light just bounces off the ceiling.)

And I have a overhang ceiling fan with a regular light for the room's main illumination, I often use it in the room during the day, but if my suggies are awake at all they positively CRAB at it when it's on.

They do NOT do this with the red light. In fact, it's the only time I can actually see them at night, really. My boy and one of my girls usually HATES any sort of light in general, but they are not bothered by the red light. (My other girl is pretty fine with anything-- she's my good girl. lol)
