As I was cleaning my BP rack and filling water bowls, I thought of something that never dawned on me. When you clean and refill water bowls, what is the temp of the water you put back in the cage? I dont mean actual degrees, but is it cold water or lukewarm? I have always given cold because I figure with the heat it would warm up to the room temp anyway. Any thoughts?

Probably doesn't make all that much difference. If it's _too_ cold, I suppose it might trigger a brief reaction from your thermostat, but in a typical water bowl, it's going to warm up pretty quickly.
I suppose if you wanted to temporarily increase humidity, you could put it in just a little warmer than lukewarm - wouldn't go all the way to "hot", though!
