Re: Rats can survive at 95
I think if you could survive in there I think the rats would,just make sure they have water & air circulating.They get real stinky when its hot.
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Yes they do and they drink water like no other but so was i haha
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Try to put a fan in front of their enclosure to cool them down!
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Do your neighbors complain about the rat smell?
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Nope, not at all i cant really even smell them most the time, they have 2 fans on them so there ok and the air conditioning people are at my place right now fixing it so i might be able to sleep tonight
Re: Rats can survive at 95
We've been experimenting with rat heat exposure as well as it's been 100-105 in the afternoons here. Our rats are in the garage where it's not 100...but I'm guessing it's in the high 90's. Anywho, we have three fans blowing on them right and I fill their water bottles twice a day...
They look hot, but seem okay.
I have one mouse nursing a litter and she's inside. =)
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Ick... not fun to be without AC over there in summer! Glad the rats made it through ok.
I keep a rotating tower fan on a timer in front of my rodent area from about May to September. :)
Re: Rats can survive at 95
yea i have a tower fan and a normal fan blowing on them, i just got a call and they are replacing the ac unit so its going to be a hot day for them, i hope they make it, and i also have a female with 7 pups, so i hope they will be ok :(:weirdface:tears:
Re: Rats can survive at 95
Watch that momma...I lost 3 nursing mothers (one rat and two mice) during the first heat wave in May...but granted we didn't have any fans going..
