I have 3 black rats(all seperate cages) that are all wild caught. They have been doing excellent, and at this time of year I typically brumate them for 2 or 3 months. The problem is this: where I now keep them, I am having trouble getting the temp much below 59 or 60, even with the heat off. Right now, this area is really my only option for keeping them, and I was just wondering if that is cold enough. i keep the lights off all the time, and they do seem to be in hibernation mode to me. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!
