Port Credit Pets (www.portcreditpets.com) in Mississauga has hovabators but it doesn't say how much it costs so you'll have to call them. It's in the Supplies->Misc Items section.

check feedstores, often someone that raised chicks and decided they were too much trouble offer them up.

You can always try EBAY... the Hobavator site has good prices, and I think LLL Reptile was running a special...

Just some thoughts- I was shopping this weekend too!

I just bought my 2nd hovabator from LLLreptile for $38.95 or something like that, but I'm not sure what shipping costs are like for out of the US

Why not make your own with the good old container filled with water method? All you do is fill a container(sterofoam boxes and coolers work really well) with water(not fill it, but enough to submerge a heater in it) and put in an aquarium heater. You then put some bricks in the bottom and sit a small rubbermaid on top. You put the eggs in the rubbermaid.
Hope this wasn't too confusing, i'm not always good at explaining things

I GOT IT STEVE, I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE TO BUILD ONE PLUS I LIKE THE ONES WITH THE WINDOWS.

I called Port Credit Pets in mississauga and they said the hova-bators are $135 (canadian)!!! I need another incubator so I'll probably make my own cuz $135 is way too expensive. I remember reading another method similar to Steve's. You put a jar in the box and fill the jar with water and put the heater in the jar. This way it's easier to use those hang-on aquarium heaters.

Hello to all! First posting here.
Not sure were you're from, but I picked up my hovabator for $80.00 canadian at a feed store in Bowmanville Ont. Feed stores are probably your best bet for incubators at a reasonable price. Also, most feed stores have, or can order you incubators for whatever your needs are.

Does anyone know of any feed stores in the Calgary, AB area?
