: iZ has his own room but we have a couple 'warm' spots set up for him in the livingroom for when he comes down for supper and social time ... one is on top of a cabinet and has a human heating pad (low setting) (with a towel on it so he doesn't slip!) ... the other is a big tree limb with a heat lamp suspended from the ceiling about 2' away, aimed at the limb (a shelf would work) ... something like that might help if it gets chilly before you figure out where to put their 'bedrooms' ...

: tongue flix + grins
: :P + :)
: iZ + mom

: ps ... i like Kayo's idea to "cover" the radiators

To cage in the radiators, use aluminum expanded metal - most weld / machine shops can come up with it - and fabricate it so's the Ig can't get on top of it. A piece of plate at steep angle should do it. And make the cage well out from the radiator.

Devise a way to anchor it down. I dunno about your Igs, but the Garoot is clever about getting into places where he dosen't belong. Yesterday, he was trying to pick the lock on the liquor locker. Good thing his claws have been trimmed.

luck,

filthy
