Okay, so. I'm really looking for advice tonight for further down the line. If that makes sense. It's been a thing today because of the weather but today won't be the last.
First off, Snugglesafes. I put them in originally about 6 hours ago. Assuming I want to put them in the microwave again before I go to sleep, how long should/could I leave it? Timings wise I'm not bothered, as long as I wait to take my meds I'm not likely to fall asleep first. And it's too cold right now not to, the wind's picked up again and the temp in their room dropped again and I hadn't noticed
Then there's the temp. I know this has to be somewhere in the guides but I can't work out where - I have a room thermometer in their room, if it drops to 19.xC I turn the heating on, and above 21C I'm switching it off again. But I don't know if I've got those temps right, or the leeway to switch on/off right, or if I'm just trying to give myself a panic atttack by overthinking it?
If I've got Camowen's weight on arrival correct, then he's gained ~100g in 3 1/2 weeks, but it was said originally that maybe they were being kept slightly too cold and then a lot of energy was going on keeping them warm. He's not overweight, I swear, and I don't believe he was underfed at all (I'm really not trying to accuse their previous owners of anything because I really don't believe that's fair at all, they've arrived in good health and the only reason I want the thing abou them being kept maybe too cold before, is because it was brought up by them first. I just want that out there before someone starts badmouthing them for nothing.)
ETA: I don't feel the cold very well. I have Raynauds, diagnosed when I was 6 or 7, and it's a circulatory disorder. I have been known to not realise I'm cold til I've lost the feeling in my fingers/hands and toes/feet. I have to rely on the room thermometer for that reason.
