Blue vs. Red
ok, so either the night of the 7th or 8th, I busted the poor crabs heat lamp. They went the night with a temp of 68-65 and the humidity was up to 85%! poor babies. So I decided, since my last bulb was a red heat, to try a NightGlow, aka blue one. Well, last night i put it in and the poor Crabitat is STILL only at about 70. Im going to go back and get a red heat as soon as I feel better, have been very queasy the last few days. Oh, and a note, when I went to take the red heat out of the lamp, it broke! the bulb part detached from the metal screw in part... Dad got it out for me, but thats weird... it deteriated VERY fast.
Everyone is dug under. Im assuming from the cold streak... to bad, I finaly had most of them up! The humidity is back to its usual teatering of 70%, if I am bad about not misting. But Im finding if I mist twice daily, once in the morning once at night, it says evenly at 75%.
I also made some cookies the night before last, but since everyone was dug under, no one has tried them yet. :( its a recipe from applesnail.net, for aquatic snails, made with dog food, pumpkin, spinich and some other good things. I used the Natuaral Balance Light, since I have about 30 lbs for the rats, and its Ethoxyquin free. Will post the Recipe for the cookies if they enjoy them. May even try selling some! :D
