Hamster heat mat
Our central heating has broken down, and it seems to be taking a while to fix. As we live on an offshore Scottish island, it's rather chilly and I'm worried that my dwarf ham might be getting a bit too cold. The thermometer on her enclosure is just now registering 17 degrees C, which I think is rather borderline, and Enigma is now around 2 years old, so might need it to be a bit warmer.
I wondered if anyone could recommend a heat mat. The tank stands on a unit, so I can't put a heat mat underneath it. Some heat mats say you can put them underneath the substrate, but - in common with most rodents - Enigma is chewer, so it would have to be something that is chew proof. The tank has solid ends, so probably a heat mat fixed there wouldn't do a huge amount of good.
I would be very grateful for any advice.
