So the weather has gotten pretty hot here in Arizona. Well we don't get allot of air from the air conditioner in the rooms so sometimes it can get kinda hot in the rooms. We do have a little cooler but it uses allot of electricity. Well if it gets too hot in the room Charlotte's nose will start to run and she'll sneeze a little. Once I turn on the air and it cools off (only takes 5 minutes to cool down). She stops right away as soon as it's cool. I don't really have any other rooms to put them in at the moment til we move. Is this normal behavior or anything to be concerned about. Does anyone have any tips to keep them cool. Something I could do for her, I've been really worried since she's started doing this :( . They do have 2 "pools" in there cage along with there water bottle.
 
I'd say her body is having a hard time with the heat. I read somewhere a pretty good tip: freeze a wet towel and place it in the cage. Keep changing it each time it warms up. Also, put some ice cubes in a bowl in the cage.
