GREAT Info -- thank you MM and Marcia!
I'm relieved to see that these are pretty much the same temps I use, except with a heating pad. I have a probe that goes under the blankies and shows me in digital readout what the temp is inside the container. It's funny when the readout suddenly jumps to 99-100*; if you look, you will always see that a baby is lying on top of the probe.

I printed this out and stuck it on my incubator. I have two thermometers in there now and may get a third to place in the back, I really appreciate the info!!! I knew this would be the best place to come!
Thanks,
TJ
So glad we could help. Now, how about some pix of those warm snuggly babies?

Not the best pictures, but you can see her in there all warm and snug!
EEEeeermerrrrGeerd!
Oh my goodness, look at her. KLUNK!
How are you liking the incubator in comparison to the heating pad/bin method? Have you noted anything different in her overall in comparison to babies you've raised in the past with heating pads?
Please give her a very gentle kiss for me. She is precious.

Make the world a better place...one animal at a time
The Peace of Wild Things
BY WENDELL BERRY
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
So beautiful and peaceful
