Rats can survive at 95

Hey everyone just thought i would share that my rats have survived a long couple of days, i live in phoenix AZ and it gets to about 115 the past couple of days and of course the air conditioning in my apartment went out its been like that for two days and when the guy was standing in the middle of my appartment with a didital gage it was 92 IN MY APPARTMENT and my room faces with west with a glass slideing door, so my room has to be hotter then that, sorry for the rant but now hes the inportant part my rats and there babies are still alive and dont seem to be bothered by it, they still play and run around and everything, just thought i would share my horrible couple of days haha. thankx andrew

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.

Yes they do and they drink water like no other but so was i haha

Try to put a fan in front of their enclosure to cool them down!

Do your neighbors complain about the rat smell?

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

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. =)

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. :)

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:

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..
