    And I ask how to add this to their water because I want to be cost effective with little waist and I am on a watering system and do not know how much water I go though in a day or how much water one of those bottles will treat... I feel it’s safe to say they are not sinking over two liters a day due to the cooler weather... I filled a 5gal bucket two weeks ago and I am just under 3 gal now

    This might be hard to understand as im doing 2 things at once hahhaha.
    Although some say light effects them i have never had a problem with regular indoor light. I also have windows on both sides of my room. As far as Dose, for what your talking about id say all you need is Doxy.. The Respiratory probs can not be cured as all Rats except Lab rats are born with the problem. Feeder Rats have the most trouble as they were not bred with their Health in mind. My Pet Rats dont suffer as they were bred from good genes and although they sneeze now and again they dont suffer at all like the Feeder Rats I bought at a Pet store do. Those are the ones I have to maintenance dose.. For URI's you all you do is antibiotics for 3 to 6 weeks and all should be fine. Did your Vet already take care of that for you?
    With Doxy I dose 1 drop (use dropper) per Oz of water. They say you need to replace water everyday (doxy looses potency) but I only do that with a Bad Respiratory infection until it clears (couple weeks) then I go back to Maintenance dosing by replacing water only once a week. I have done this for a year strait only going back to everyday water changes twice for bad Respiratory infection so it works very well.
    On another note if you replace your Breeders by six months old you most likey wont have to treat them for problems and will get much healthier larger litters during that time. I replace my ASF's every 5 months which allows females 3 litters.. The Norway breeders (pet store feeders) I now also replace except for the 4 that have that became my buddies.
