Default Winterizing your home for your fids....

I am always concerned that our home has the appropriate humidity levels for the winter and thought you might be too. I have attached an informational site.

Very interesting article JR. Thanks for posting that.

Maintaining the 50-60% humidity level is keeping me on my toes here. We have a tendency to get so dry.

I live in one of the colder winter climate areas. Does anyone feel there would be any advantage to opening up the doors despite the cold weather to do an air exchange for a period of time every day?

Great tips. Can't imagine having to do all that.
The only thing I have to worry about down here is not taking them outside too early in the day.

Thought I would bump this up since we are in the middle of our winter. Those in the humid south, close your eyes!
