    Sounds like your need to start searching and reading.

    Yes, a respiratory infection (RI) usually comes from a combination of poor humidity, temperatures, and stagnant air.

    The cages should be vented for air flow, the temps should be (air) around 75f and a a hotspot of 85f. That's what I shoot for. Humidity needs to be 45-55% and can be boosted to 70% for a shed.

    If you do not have a good thermometer and hygrometer you need one ASAP. RI does not clear up on its own and they will most likely need medication. Without it they have a slim chance of surviving.
