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.

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

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. =)

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..
