Heat Pack for Taconic Shipper

RLD Heat Pack - 35+ Hours

$3.75

Product ID # 4015

When shipping sugar gliders and the outdoor temperature in either the ship from city, transfer city, or destination city is a bit too chilly (less than 65 degrees), we recommend that you use a portable heat source to protect your sugar gliders from the elements.  We've used these heat packs in the dead of winter and have found that they are quite effective in keeping the gliders warm and cozy.  This one-time use, disposable heating pad heats to 110-135 degrees for 35 hours plus, keeping the transit cage at a comfortable temperature plenty long enough to get your sugar gliders transported safely.

These heat packs are "turned on" when removed from the plastic outer packaging and exposed to oxygen in the air.  High grade iron powder contained within undergoes rapid rusting from which heat is a by-product.  We recommend placing the heat pack under a shallow amount of aspen shavings and the sugar glider inside of a nest box or sleeping pouch.  

Do not place the sugar glider directly in contact with the heat pack.  We are highly experienced in shipping young sugar gliders that are slightly over 2 months OOP (out of pouch) in age.  The babies have always done very well with this product.  As a word of caution, however, babies are not usually big time chewers, so we are not concerned with the babies getting into the heat pack itself.  If you are shipping adult sugar gliders, you may want to use extra precautions to protect the heat pack from being "opened".  Because of the sugar glider's nocturnal nature, it is highly unlikely than any sugar glider will want to stay awake if you are shipping during daylight hours.

The Heat Source 35+ is easy to use:

1. Open the outer wrapper and remove inner pad.

2. Shake contents in open air. Heat will begin to be generated in 4-5 minutes.

3. Place the heat source in shipping container.

4. After use, dispose of outer wrapper and expired heat pack properly.

Contents: All natural ingredients - iron powder, activated charcoal powder, cellulose, zeolite and water. Nontoxic, Nonflammable, and Biodegradable.
