im worried they will get too hot/cold.
please answer!
thanksCan i leave my mice in my front porch during winter/summer.?
Mice need to be kept in temperatures of 65-80 degrees F. Mice are extremely sensitive to temperature changes and a porch, closed or otherwise, is not a healthy place for them to be. If you live in a climate that is hot in the summer and cold in the winter they need to be brought into the house. A simple space heater won't do it as the porch is not insulated and the heat will exit the porch before truly heating it up.
Sadly in a cold climate mice will not do well regardless of what you think to try aside from bringing them inside. If this is not an option for you please find a more suitable home for them perhaps with friends or family.Can i leave my mice in my front porch during winter/summer.?
No your mice need to be kept inside, apart from either dying from heat or from the cold they are also under threat from wild animals. As you say its not very secure, it's very easy for rats, birds etc to get at them. Mice are indoor pets, they would not last more then a week in any kind of outdoor part of your house. Think of it this way, rabbits are meant to be brought in during the winter or during heat waves. So do you really think small defenceless mice would survive??
dude, it like they get a cardboard box, and they put you in naked during the dead of winter/summer. Are you willing to survive that much time with little movement? You answer me that.
they will definitely get too cold during winter.
It would not be good at all or good to their health to be outside - they need to be kept indoors. Pet mice are not the same as wild.
it may not matter if you live someplace where the temps are not extreme, but if you can bring them inside it would probably be best.
i think they should be inside!
but if you have i light bulb or heat rock it might work.
i would think so also if its hot u could give them a ice pack or ice cubes like i do with my guinea pigs
