Re: ZooMed UTH Not Sticking
I avoid sticking them on the cage altogether. Eventually they gotta all come off so I simply put a piece of cardboard underneath the UTH to make it press against the bottom of the cage. Problem solved.

Foil tape shouldn't be used to attach probes to UTH's, but it's fine to use to attach UTH's to the bottom of the cage.

I think the hot glue gun will work the best but I'm not sure if the heat will melt it or it won't conduct heat as much. I do have a thermostat on it and I have it set to around 98 degrees (because of the low temps since the UTH won't stick).
Im having the same exact problem. I was freaking out at first but realized that my temps are fine with it just being under the tub. I have both probes there, it doesn't go higher than 91.5 or lower than 87.9. What surface do you have the enclosure on ?
