Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all that amazing info Heather! Already printed it out, about to go over it step by step with the hubby. I've looked at SO many care sheets in the past few weeks, so much random info (like you said, especially info that varied too widely.) This is exactly what I needed. I had a few other questions from reading that list, if anyone has a second to give their responses, that would be awesome.


1. Water dechlorinator - do you use this no matter what kind of water you have? We have tap water here (well on our property), I've seen info saying this is ok and this is not ok to use.


2. I can purchase the heat lamp and heating pads no problem. We built a shelf on our huge entertainment center (which is currently not being used for much of anything, lol) - it has a built in light right above where we put the shelf. Will that work ok as the regular overhead lighting? (It will shine directly over the cage, it takes a smallish bulb, I think 35 watts.) It has a dimmer built in (I know you said that for the heat lamp but this one has it too just in case it's too bright, etc.)

Actually, I think that's the only two questions I have. Thank you again SO much! (And to everyone else who replied as well!)
