Brinsea TLC-30 Eco Portable Bird Brooder & Recovery Incubator, Compact Design Heating & Temperature Control Pet Brooder for Birds, Newborn Puppies, Kittens, and Other Small Animals

This little brooder as worked out very well for our aviary. It's good at maintaining a constant temperature. We use a cup of water to increase humidity, and that works well, but I do wish it was designed with a humidifier as well. Super easy to clean. Very portable. It's paid for itself over and over again.

We used this incubator to keep our elderly hedgehog warm while he was going through a rough patch. The incubator is wonderfully portable, and now that our hedgehog is doing better, we still use this incubator for quick overnight trips when we can't bring a larger enclosure. The car charger works flawlessly, and we've had the incubator constantly on (in case of emergency) for months now without any issues whatsoever.

Did not keep the inside as warm as stated. With the small box, all you feel is luke warm air even when it is set at 85%. This is a lot of money to spend to not work properly. I will be sending it back.

Currently testing this but to be used for small mammals and avians, whatever is needed. Neonatal kittens or puppies, hatchlings, etc. temperature has been stable and operation is easy. Size is on the small side but still decent for the price.

Good product for small litters or small breeders. Huge help during whelping to keep pups warm and dry while momma whelps the next. Have taken pups to emergency visits to vet in there, and you can use the port on top to pipe in oxygen. No reason to buy the other 1k brand of puppy warmer.

Smaller than I thought it was and it didn't hold the temperature very well

As a rehabber, I’ve needed an incubator for many years but put it off because of the cost. Two years ago I pulled the trigger and bought my first Brinsea TLC-30 Advance. I now have 5! Reliability is the number one requirement and the TLC-30 checks the box. It’s also lightweight, easy to carry and customer service is excellent! HOWEVER… there is a potentially fatal flaw with the door design that everyone should be aware of. The latch is useless. It constantly swings open by itself and there is no safety mechanism. Because I take it with me daily, in and out of my car, I have unknowingly dumped babies in my car, in the driveway, and in the street! I started using tape and then elastic to keep the door closed but finally got smart and attached a Child Safety Strap Lock made for cupboard doors. They are very inexpensive ($7.99 for a 6-pack), easy to attach with peel off adhesive strips and easy to open and close. They will save lives!!!! So buy the Brinsea incubator and buy the safety straps at the same time. I highly recommend both!

Ordered for the Wildheart Wildlife rescue that rehabs orphaned raccoons, opossums, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks and more. This donation was very much needed and appreciated.
