Does anyone have the heating on yet?

[Maz]

We haven't. I've just started wearing an extra layer but usually resist putting the heating on as long as possible - because once it's on, you get used to it! However I usually go by the hamsters - I can tell when they're starting to notice the cold and keep an eye on the temperature in that room, so then I start turning it on a bit. It's not been that bad so far but it's damp and chilly tonight.

Yes, mine is on in the morning and evening now…too chilly for me! I lagged Blossom’s cage yesterday with wool insulation to keep her cosy and toasty too

I'm using an electric heater until the central heating comes on later in the month as I think the gin gins might be feeling the chilli. Although Socks has his nest, he needs the warmth to be comfortable too.

Chilli I meant chill

Yes morning and evening and a thermal cami for me

Strangely, it's been quite mild here really - until the last day or two! I have a thermometer in the room with the hamsters so keeping an eye on it. We do have a heated clothes drier on most days so that's maybe been helping keep the chill off.

It's been freezing here in Scotland. I've put the heating on a few times. Brrr
Not looking forward to winter.

 

[Maz]

Me neither! Not as far north as you, but quite north and winter is always too long.

It does seem to have got chilly quickly this autumn…seems to have dived straight into winter The rain has been so heavy too!! I put on waterproof trousers today to walk back to my car after work…fed up of getting drenched!!
