I just got a space heater and turned it on for a minute to try it out and it let off a smell almost like a ceramic hair straightener. I know budgies have extremely sensitive respiratory systems and I‘m afraid it will hurt him. Does anyone know if they let off fumes that are harmful to budgies specifically? I have yet to find specific information about it. He seems to be okay now but I was too afraid to keep it on after I smelled it. If it matters, the brand is Lasko and it looks like a little grey box.
That's an easy fix really. This is going to sound funny but it does work. Take a piece of white bread and remove the soft middle part. Ball that up and stuff it in to the pipe as far as you can. That will block the water long enough to solder the connection. The bread will fall apart and come right out after you turn the water back on. A cool trick that really works!
Yes they are OK. But I would take it somewhere else and leave it on for an hour or two to burn it in. This is the fumes you are smelling, but they should not be dangerous, but not worth the risk.
consistent with threat the respond on your question is got here across interior the be conscious healthful. possibly this individual has some style of scientific condition that reasons them to sense chilly whilst maximum individuals sense mushy. it would desire to be actual or it would desire to be psychological. If this is no longer that then have they arrive from a various area of the worldwide the place they're used to it being warmer forever?
Ceramic heaters are fine to use with budgies, as long as it stays out of their reach at all time.
I have used the bread trick with success if there is not to much water. If it is in a place where you might want a cut-off, I use a valve just as gizmo suggested with the union. You can usually get a good sweat job with the valve open and then just close the valve. It should not be concealed however.
