they don't need to be that warm

turning heater on then off will make the cage condensate moisture on the sides

heater and hot water heater in the room should be warming the room some?

....give them some bedding to make a nest ....would help

keep alot more rats...they alone will warm the room???...

...OK...so ...just keep checking the room's temp...if bottles don't freeze solid it's a start....

.......heater to use....space heater...the oil filled radiator looking ones?......don't set it on carpet? ,near curtains, near anything....or on uneven floor

...fires do happen.....

I run ceramic heaters 24 /7...365 days a year...in cellar ,in snake room,,,on cement floor....setting on stainless steel steam table pan........

........keep checking temps.....
