Vent/Cooling question for other rat/mouse breeders...
Looking for others opinions regarding vent/cooling of a rodent room. I have around 100 adult breeder rats, and I have no idea how many mice (not nearly as many mice as rats, thou). My question is this...
Do you think it would be better to have a window A/C unit in the room (it gets very hot in there with even the door and widow open), or would a fan mounted in the window be more benificial (as in more air exchange with the outside)?
I am not concerned with odor control (have not had a problem with that, but I clean ALOT...that is just me, thou), but I am concerned that an A/C unit might cause "stale" air in the room. Any thoughts on this.
By the way, I live in the South (Alabama), and summers get HOT here (was in the upper 80's and low 90's today!!)
Any feed back would be appreciated.
