loriusgarrulus Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Overhead is best as out of reach of chewing and damp. The ceramic bulbs in a chick rearing lamp are very robust. You need the heat resistant holder with metal shade. Something like shown in link. If you have a farm supplies nearby they usually stock them. Get the 250w bulb and you can lower or higher the lamp on a chain to control the temperature at pup level. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Intelec-Eco-Infra-Red-Heat-Lamp-Long-Guard-Bulb-Chicks-Dogs-/151623219427?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item234d72b8e3 Edited March 21, 2015 by loriusgarrulus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
