Optional Heat Lamp Modification:
I have found that it is nice to actually attach the heat lamp to the screen top. This makes opening the cage much easier.
Materials and tools required:
1. A drill
2. a 1/4" drill bit
3. 2 plastic zip ties
4. Diagonal cutters or scissors
5. A punch ( a good sized nail & a hammer will do the same job)
Procedure:
Step 1: Make sure your heat lamp is unplugged, not sitting on the screen top, and there is no bulb in it.
Step 2: Using the punch make 2 dents in the lip of the heat lamp one on each side 180 degrees apart
Step 3: Using the drill and 1/4" bit drill 2 holes using the dents from step 2 as a guide.
Step 4: Screw the heat bulb back into the lamp fixture, and place back on the screen top. Using the 2 zip ties attach the heat lamp to the screen top.
Step 5: Trim the ends of the zip ties
