What if its exceedingly hot or cold?
In extreme heat, as many of our tented summer shows can be, exhibitors can place water bottles on top of the show tanks for their rats. Mark the water bottles with the animal’s corresponding pen number to avoid them becoming muddled and placed on the wrong tank by busy stewards. Please note that according to the NFRS rules, all rats at tented/warmer shows must have water bottles for each individual tank. In colder weather it is permissible to use white shredded bedding in addition to the substrate.
