My rats are constantly sick, idk what I'm doing wrong
My rats are constantly having breathing problems even though I feel like I'm doing a good job. I spot clean, deep clean, there's a humidifier in the room, and their play area is kept clean. It's very demoralizing spending so much time cleaning everything just for them to get very sick anyway. One passed from pneumonia a month ago and all the others are either sneezing or wheezing. They have coco fiber as a base substrate with springtails to keep ammonia down, and the pan is filled with fresh news litter. I open the window sometimes to vent out the room of any ammonia that lurks about. They are all on Doxycycline and Prednisone, but they haven't gotten any better. I am genuinely at a loss and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any advice?
