What is an acceptable temperature range for rats & breeding rats? The reason for the question. Living in S Florida, I'm wondering if I can keep them outside on my second floor screened in balcony for large portions of the year.
I have neighbors that keep all sorts of animals/pets on their balconies so I'm thinking, why not a small breeding colony of rats!
The balcony faces N NE so very little direct sunlight. And when I do get direct sun, it's one corner of the balcony for a couple hours. That's a mute point anyway because that only happens during mid summer which i have to imagine is too hot, sun or no sun. It get's in the mid 90's here daily in the summer. They would be inside during the hot summer months (June through Sept).
Is this just a stupid idea or is this something that's acceptable?
