    Im thinking 60 is the minimum for them, you will have to do a search. Mine temps are around 65 and they are all in the same corner.

    Rodents need to stay between 55-80 to stay breeding steady. Too cold and they will worry more about nesting to keep warm than breeding.

    I would have a heater in there to keep a area their at around 65F and be fine.

    I keep my rats in the garage and even though I am in California it is getting chilly too. Since they are next to a cement wall I now have 2 inch thick insulation so they are protected from the cold waves coming through. Everything is still good!
