power outtage?

...I still had hot water / stove ( we have gas hot water heater and stove) ) thank goodness.
I filled and re-filled a billion gallon water jugs with hot water and surrounded the enclosures then cover them with blankets...
A kerosene heater in an enclosed area is VERY dangerous.

The hot (or cold if trying to cool with ice) water bottle is a doable thing if you have a a gas stove or gas water heater and few enclosures. Can't imagine trying that for a large collection during an extended power loss of a week or more. Glad you got a generator now Lynn; if a possibility, it's the way to go.

I live in an apartment so the generater is out. I dont know if kerosene heaters are allowed...

Agree with Lynn and do not recommend using a kerosene heater in an enclosed space due to possible carbon monoxide production. A portable gas (i.e. propane, natural gas, etc.) heater that is designed to be used inside and burn clean is a better choice .

I have temporary transportable frog housing ready to go and a few people nearby who heat primarily with wood where I can take the frogs for a few days. I haven't had to exercise this option yet, but I was pretty close once last winter.
