Boristheblade 1,367 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 You can buy the tube heaters from screwfix with built in thermostat, n can buy the cages to fit around them to stop chewing. 3 Quote Link to post
Dinosaurs 2,008 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Ive used various types of heating over the years radiators heatlamps & even tried under floor htg but ive found the thermostat tube heaters to be the best & never had a problem with them being chewed. I still keep a heat lamp with ceramic core plug instead of a bulb in it just for back up when its really cold after a night out. Atb Quote Link to post

Actually being out side and not over hot, they grow thicker coat even short hair dogs deff . 3 Quote Link to post

Boristheblade 1,367 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) That’s not my pic above lol. I was going to put heaters in the box but isn’t much need as mine are fully insulated and the heater wouldn’t come on as doesn’t drop cold enough in there. This is mine they are brick n block then 50mm polystrene backed with foil bubble wrap cavity insulation boards. Then lined with waterproof caberdek floor boarding.
