is it alright to use those heating pads rather than a lamp? And during summer( obviously no heater) but is that heat ok...or should i use a fan? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/littleglider.gif" alt="" />

A heating pad nor a heat lamp in necessarry in most cases. I am sure your home does not get that cold to where it would be harmful for a glider. If you do live in a chilly house I just suggest giving a few extra blankies for them to curl up in and they will be fine.

In the summer, I usually always have a ceiling fan going except for when they are out of the cage playing. HTH <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />
