Do they give out a lot of heat ? I really only need them to keep the chill off them as 1 is an elderly bunny who’s 8 and has lost both his cuddle partners this year. We got a friend for him but they aren’t bonded yet so just worried for the winter for them both if they don’t buddy up so as they're not too cold on their own.
I plan on fitting them in the peak of the roof so they can’t reach to touch or chew them.
I think they’ll be fine but just wondered if anyone’s used them and what they're like. Cheers
Hi Wullie.

I've used that type of heater in the past for animals and plants.
They do have to be as low as possible though or they WONT work. The heat will never go downwards.--

You can get then in a very low wattage.

They need a surround to them to stop actual contact though.

A bit like a small raised floor with holes in to let the warm air rise.

Good luck with it.
