    Re: Rat Colony & the heat of summer

    My guys are in the basement which is cool year round.. but good heads up there Jo!

    I know a lot of rabbit breeders use the frozen bottle trick. Definitely a help.

    I just had to put the AC in up here for the snakes.. keeping it at a constant 80 degrees in here.

    I like the frozen water bottle idea and will try it and see if the little boogerheads will enjoy it and yet not chew every bottle to smithereens on a daily basis LOL. Thanks everyone!
