True. A space heater placed nearby might help. Or a second UTH placed under the "cool" side, controlled with either another t-stat or a rheostat.

Yeah, but it still won't change the fact that the room is too cold (probably the number 1 reason for low temps in the first place)...fix that, and the heating setup that he/she already has can work more efficiently.

You could also try placing a towel over the screen top. I do that on all my cages. It will help with the air temps.

Thermo. Stat. $70-135. Jacks the price up a little, don't you think? I've heard the thermostats on those heaters are pretty unreliable.

When they refuse a meal, I like to wait a good ten days or so before offering another. I have been fortunate in the fact that none of mine are off-feed this year; the ones that are breeding actually seem to have a heightened feeding response when I give them a few days' rest between breedings for feeding and respite..
As for your husbandry.. you say your hot side is not warm enough; I think this is something you need to solve right away!
