Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
I've got something similar it just doesn't have the glass. I haven't turned it into an incubator yet but I will soon.

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
Sounds like a good deal to me if you are only having a few clutches a year, but if you are planning on more than 5 or 6 clutches at a time, I would go for something bigger. The glass door is nice though, let us know if you end up getting it.

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
Yeah Evan I noticed it didn't have much space but it was free , I'm thinking I'll be alright for the first two year's of breeding. I'll probably only need it for 2 to three clutch's.

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
It looks like itll work fine. Even if you build a wet incubator (cooler with an aquarium heater etc) itll still cost you close to $45 and it will only fit a couple clutches. Sounds like a good deal for a couple years

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
ok so how do you turn it in to an incubator?? I have 3 fridges like that with glass frounts that are in storage if it is possable to turn them in to Incubators then how do I do it. (so I dont take over the thread, just PM me)

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
That would be great IMO; especially since the door is glass and you are going to have to peek into the thing every 5 minutes (if you're like me, hehe.)

Oh Eva Jameson I am only going to have about three clutches next season.
Anyone who already modified a fridge to incubator throw me a PM and tell me how it worked out. Thank you all again.

Good stuff Danny!

Re: Incubator out of a mini Fridge?????
Oh I think that would be perfect! Glad you made the deal and she's even dropping it off to you.
Here's a link I had in my favorites list. Hopefully it will be of some help. I can't verify if these instructions are good as I've not tried them out yet but take it for what it is. Cue and some others here have made really nice incubators out of old fridges/freezers so they would likely be able to say if these instructions are reasonable to follow.

When you consider the cost of the following incubator I think you got a really good deal if you can rehab that $60.00 unit into a workable incubator. I've seen Casey's incubators btw and believe me they are fantastic...wish I could afford one myself for this coming season...very well constructed!
