rat cage in front of window?
My rat cage has been in front of an open window for the past month. We dont get extreme temps here or anything, but now they both are starting to sneeze. Since we are getting into the summer months I thought it would be better for them to get more ventalation. Any advice?

I don't keep rats, but keep an eye out for any other symptoms. Have you changed anything else? E.g. their bedding etc?
I found the following via google for you:

they could be sneezing due to pollen or pollution in the air as well, i have a cage near the window, but not in full sun, and during the summer the shades are down

Never let the sun shine directly on them,because they can quickly get heatstroke.

very true
as long as the cage isnt in direct sunlight and the room is well air conditioned, and there are dark cooler places for the little guy to retreat to you should be fine
