  Has anyone made an home incubator of sorts?
  
  Are there bunny appropriate heat lamps?
  
  Too late for my current situation but would like to think about think for the future. I have a nebulizer box (box with hole cut out) and am currently, at times, putting bun in carrier, which is in a large trash bag, with space heater pointing into it and nebulizer in it too. Once in a while I squirt my O2 can into it. Making things up…

  I have had luck with ceramic bulbs. They work like a heat lamp, but there is no light. It just emits heat. The trick is getting it so the target spot isn’t too hot and bunny can freely move away if they feel hot.

  Ok, just ordered 100W and light fixture. Hope that’s not too hot.
  
  I have my space heater pointing into xpen at times as well as a warm water bottle but seems he doesn’t prefer to sit near them even though it’s clear when the entire room is warmer, and I’m sweating, he makes less noise.

  I hope the bulb will work.
  
  When my bun Vilde was very ill, he would go and lie next to a radiator. Tried to give him a warm waterbottle wrapped in a fluffy blanket instead – and he was offended. He only wanted that radiator. It didn’t look comfy, but what did I know, I was just a hoomin, hoomins know nothing 😄

  I have only used the hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket trick. One time when Bun Jovi was very ill I put the water bottle next to him and a light blanket loosely over the top of him and the bottle, it definitely helped him. I’ve seen these warming disks you can put in the microwave for the same purpose but the name escapes me!
