do you go by the actual temperature or the 'feels like' temperature?
I've always gone by the real temperature and assume that the 'feels like' temperature is affected by wind, but as the hutches/aviary are insulated and have thick clear covers on then I consider their inside temperature to be the actual temperature or above. Little Skunk has a thermometer on the front of his hutch inside the cover and this seems to bear out my theory.
So, tonight for example the real temperature is 2 whereas the 'feels like' is -5, I'm going with heat pads to be on the safe side.
How does anyone else decide?
