I have 2 positions to place my perch if needed, I have lowered the drinker and feeder and I made the floor go all the way across letting light and extra heat out one end instead of both ends. I test ran it again and I am only using a 25 watt glaobe and it sat on 23 degrees C all day, so I am quite pleased about it now, What do you think. :budgiedance: Link to comment

The box should be up to our body temperature. Budgies use a lot of energy to kepp warm and this is needed to fight the illness. I would test it with 40w and 60w lamps. Besides that, I love it. Is the design up for sale :budgiedance: Link to comment

Feathers. ps. the base in mine goes all the way across, I have no gap, just a line of small drill holes in the bottom board - maybe that will help? Link to comment

Is the design up for sale Yes Daz I know the temp should be higher, about 30 degc 32 degc but everyone on here were saying that I would cook the birds so I thought I would try 25 deg which should be good for a bird no so sick but with the 40deg sits around the right temp and is what I will use if I have a real sick bird. I got the instructions off the net, if you look at my first topic Hospital cage made all by myself I think Elly posted the site there somewhere. good luck if you make one let me know how you go. I think this is the link Building a Hospital Cage but it doesn't work but have a look where Elly posted it because that one works. I think you have done an incredibly good job, well done. Feathers. ps. the base in mine goes all the way across, I have no gap, just a line of small drill holes in the bottom board - maybe that will help? Yes Feathers I was going to copy yours but I thought the birds might want to sit at the back and a lot of heat comes from the opening, but the good thing is that I can make a couple of different floors and change them around as I feel when needed. So I might make a floor like yours and have it as a spare. Edited June 1, 2007 by splat Link to comment
