Ready to get things underway

How would you measure the pressure. I go to weather.com all the time and I can see the current pressure. (right now its at 30.20 with a little arrow pointing ->) Can I use this to measure pressure in my area for breeding purposes or should I get an actual pressure meter...thingy? And what is considered low pressure? We are not supposed to have rain till next Friday.

I just got me one of those wall Barometers it has an average high and low area I watched for a little while what my average reading in PSI was then when I saw it dropping I'd pair up..Oh and I would mist the tubs of paired animals. I'd say get you a barometer. The pressure in your room may be vastly different than where weather.com's testing station is.

Thank you frog man that helps alot!!!!

Where can you get a barometer? Can you get them at a place like Southern States or Walmart?

I have no idea ill go to wallmart today and find out haha

I got mine on-line.

Right now, I live at 4000' above sea level and so I wanted one that was calibrated for high altitude (3000' to 7000' above sea level).

At the ranch I got one that was calibrated for low altitude given that it is only 1900' above sea level out there.

Good luck fellas on your breeding season. I slowly cool mine but I start on Oct 15 th or so.I just cut the heat tape off for 2 hours and slowly increase the amount of time it is off over the next few months. During the day the temps are normal I feel that is what keeps the RI away. Plus I have a heater that is set on at thermostat to 78-80 so ambients temps do not drop to low. Again good luck.

Any place that sell thermometers should have barometers, sometimes they come in a set of both or 3 with humidity.
The rooms naturally cool in the winter anyway.

2 years ago I cooled and last year I didnt and got pretty much the same results.

You can just wait for rain (which is low pressure) and pair them then, this is what they do in the wild, breed during the rainy season.

Hmmmm, wonder if the same hold true for snow since that's what we're gonna start seeing a lot of in a month or two
