I know these things seem very expensive for the few degrees you want to raise the temp. I felt the same way after getting my CHE setup and spending $100 (I bought most of it after I had the hedgie so I had to buy quick and at a pet shop so very expensive) but it's for the safety and well being of your hedgie. Temperature fluctuations can send a hedgie into fatal hibernation. They need a consistent temperature of air in the cage, not just a hot and cold space like some animals. I bought my setup almost a year ago now (one hedgie passed quickly, this guy was younger) and they are still going strong and was a very worthwhile investment. Think of it as an investment in you hedgies lifespan and thus happiness for you and being assured you did all you could to take care of him/her!
