Does it warm the cage

No,not the cage itself. It's possible at night when I have the cage covered that it warms the area up a bit, but otherwise just the perch itself warms up. I only using it during winter months, and my bird loves it. You can tell she is selecting which perch to use based on how warm or cold she is.

My mom purchased it for her cockatiel because her apartment is chilly during the winter. I don't believe it warms the cage but keeps the bird warmer when it sits on it. It did take the bird a week or two to finally sit on it for a longer period of the time.

No. It doesn't "put off" heat. The perch itself warms up and your bird can sit on it whenever it is feeling cold and it will absorb the heat through its feet. This way the bird can always choose weather it is cold and needs the heat, or if it is warm and would rather sit on another perch.

Not really. But if your looking to warm the. Area, Amazon has a little lasko 200 watt heater.That's about the a light bulb or two. I have one and if the placed carefully ( depending on bird) it does a nice job.It very compact and can be put on a table.

No it doesn't..that's why I bought several...I use them for several things. Keeping baby birds warm being one. It's very irritating to have one turn off after an hour or two.

No it doesn't. Sorry to report. Even with hot water to warm it, food is luke warm at best.

No. It only just warms but that could be because of our different voltage here in Australia.

I used it once on my Cockatiel that had a cold. The vet told me to put it near the cage, but not too close and make sure that the bird has a big enough area to have a cooling spot that he can move to away from the heat as these get extremely hot. I hooked mine to a chair and put it about a foot to a foot and a half away from the cage.

Yes it does! I use this for frogs so they do not need a heat lamp. It's a regular light fixture.

It has a reflective layer inside. So any heat put out by your pet is reflected back into it, instead of into the floor. It does not generate it's own heat.

As far as I can tell, no, it doesn't. However, my cat hasn't 'taken' too well to this and I feel very little heat when I press down on the bed. This is probably one of the type that doesn't heat until it has the weight of the cat on it.

Temperature is done with headlamps. Humidity can be done by misting the cage several times a day or use a reptile fog machine.

Yes, it does! It uses a low 5v heating element safe for USB ports and generates a low volume of warmth! The longer you sit, the warmer it gets! It's designed to use in an office, or a car.

The temp only elevates at all in response to pressure on the pad. If the animal gets up and leaves it, it cools down. If it stays plugged in, it will heat up again when the animal resumes lying on it.

No it doesn't which I was worried about but my rabbit is doing great with her litter box being on the ground floor then food And water up top. My only complaint is this cage is too small. Needs to be twice as deep.

No, but it only draws a minimal current. It's only warm to the touch, but our dog loves it.

And it depends on what type of cage you have, location, etc, with regards to supplemental heat other than the heat pad.

It does not. I have accidentally left it on before and have come back 8 hours later to it still fully heated and on.

it does get a little warm, not sure whether it heats up soup to soup temperature, though!
