wow! thank you! I never thought about worms!! I do buy my rats from a reputable breeder but I will get that stool checked asap!

I really appreciate your advice about power outages, I will definitely use that in the future. Hopefully there will be no more this summer, its way to hot!

My plan is to add a thermostat to the UTH, a second hide for the cool side and buying a temperature gun.

Thanks again
