    What ever feels comfortable to you is perfect to them. well, if you like normal temps that is If it is too hot I find they lay down alot and do not do well.

    Re: Mice and temperature

    For most rodents, you don't want to go over the high 70's. I have a rotating fan set on a timer to be on for 15 minutes off for 30 in front of the rodent area in the summer to keep it 75 and under.

    Too cold for them, I believe, would also be too cold for us. So unless they are in an uninsulated garage you shouldn't have to worry about cold.
