Last time i handraised budgies it was summer so once they where 4 weeks old and had feathers i stopped using my heating cord to keep them warm but i am wondering with Roxy who is nearly 4 weeks old if she still needs to be keep warm by heating, she is by herself.I just moved her to a cage because she keep climbing out of her container.

In my "kindie cage" of babies that age and older I use a CAR TROUBLE LIGHT....its a light fixture on the end of an extension cord with a light bulb and switch. I put a 25 to 40 watt globe in and hang it on the side of the cage.

 

Looks like this

available from most cheaper stores. The good thing about those kind of lights is you can move them about anywhere you need them in a birdroom and hook them to the side of any kind of cage for a hospital cage lamp :bluebudgie:
