Risking going off topic a bit but a few years back I used to keep Guinea Pigs in a large run in my garden. As they lived there all summer I built a heater for their nest box for cooler nights which consisted of a couple of those large gold coloured metal cased high wattage resistors underneath controlled with a stat and powered from a low voltage supply. They were always nice and cosy in there. Saved me cutting the grass too, as I just moved the run when they had "mown" the patch in the run. They don't burrow out like rabbits so there was no need to put a floor in.
