I just wanted to add that I think Russians can tolerate humidity quite well.

I live in St. Louis, MO, where the humidity is high. I kept a group of Russians in an outdoor pen from about April to October for several years. They were fine with temps ranging from 40s to low 100s and liked to stay out in the rain. If it was going to be cold AND wet, then I brought them in. Or if it looked like the pen would flood.

They were never sick.

Just make sure they have a place to get out of the elements that allows them to remain dry. In cooler weather I would stuff newspaper into the hide box.

Good luck.
