Iv ordered several items from Full Throttle Feeders way before this post and I have had part of my shipping refunded to me a couple of times without even asking! They run a great business as far as I’m concerned and have been nothing but fair to me. We all get used to the big boys “amazon” and...

Way to go on the new cage! She will be sooooo much happier with her new setup. As far as the humidifier goes that really depends on what your humidity gets down too at night. I run mine all year long at night but in the summer time I cut the schedule down to 4 hours (on at 11pm off at 3am)...
