Mini Fridge Incubator

[Mitch21]

Has anyone ever used one of these 4.3 cubic liter mini fridges as an incubator?

I've got a couple laying around the house since my roommates from college didn't want theirs anymore. If anyone's ever used this kind, I was wondering a few things...

1. How many clutches can you fit in it at once?

2. Can you put a window in it somehow without absolutely destroying the fridge?

3. Can you please post pics of your mini fridge bator?

Roosterman2173 has one. Said it holds temps good and works well. Not sure about the window, the door is pretty insulated, may be hard to do. I think he can put 7 clutches in his.

Man just get yourself a bator like Jake sells.

I bought a kit from him and used my own cooler, worked out great!

Heres mine, not in use yet....Be on the lookout for baby Bloods next year!




A look through one of the windows....

just take the door off and stick some magnets to a piece of plexi. thats what i use as a door (i screwed in hinges but would leave holes) temps are holding great. ive moved the thermometer all around inside and temps are within .6 degree anywhere in the fridge
