Temperature in cage

Post by christo_1 » Wed Jul 18, 2007 11:30 pm

Hello, once the chick hatches how would they be kept warm enough? Do the parents handle that or do I have to put a light or something into the cage. Won't the adults get too hot? What about at night? I can't keep a warming light on the cage all night, right? :roll:

As long as the cage is indoors, normal room temperature will be fine. The parents will keep the chicks warm. You don't need a warming lamp in the cage, or even near it right now.
