Heat lamp DO’s
1.
Unplug the lamp when not in use and/
or use ThermoCubes
(p. 104)
.
Saves $$ in
energy and bulbs.
2.
Use 175 watt bulbs
(p. 105)
.
250 watt bulbs
cost more to use per hour and, in our
experience, aren’t needed. PAR (pressed
glass) bulbs are far more durable.
3.
Clip lamps very securely
(p. 104)
by the
top clip (not the cord)
and do not place
cords where animals are likely to reach
them
—
particularly if adult sheep, goats
or pigs are exposed to them.
A lamp that falls onto animals and/or
bedding has consequences that can be
very serious—including fire.
Heat lamp DON’Ts
1.
Don’t hang lamps closer than 20" from
bedding
or baby animals that can’t move
away from them.
2.
Don’t enclose lamps
in barrels or similar
small spaces. The heat must be allowed
to move away from the lamps.
3.
Don’t use heat lamps any longer than
necessary.
Lambs and kids only need
extra heat when they are wet newborns
or weak or suffering from hypothermia.
(We’ve heard reports of folks using them
continuously for 2-3 months!)
