One rat a week is fine.

I don't measure humidity. I keep the water bowls in the middle of their tubs and when i notice them going into shed i put it over the hotspot. I used to mist them but this method works just as well. (Props to jerry lol)

My house is usually above 65 degrees, and stays in the 80's for the summer. so I wasn't terribly worried about the heat. the heat pad is supposed to operate at 100 degrees and no higher...It really doesn't feel noticeably warmer than my apartment, which is 73 as we speak...If you think I should unplug the lamp and heat pad, I will
