Here we go again. Next week temperatures will 4 degrees at nite, not counting wind chills, followed by a long spread of days in the low teens. I'm wondering whether to leave Muffin's house as it, or to order a heating pad to put in it
beneath the straw. I want the most protection for him (he loves his house and is always in it in the cold) but I also don't want to make any changes if it might make him uncomfortable. Basically, the house is cedar insulated, but has an entrance and exit door. I have a piece of carpet on the floor with a folded towel over it, and a mylar sheet on top of that, and a bunch of straw over that. I have two throw blankets covering both doors and a thicker blanket over them, and when it was really cold, I put my sleeping bag around the entire house, leaving just enough room for him to stick his head underneath and maneuver his way inside. Do you guys think this is enough, or should I get a heating pad, too?
