I just went in to check on the rats and my daughters rat had no water!!!! Its in the 90's right now and she is very lathargic(probably spelled that wrong) I have moved her cage into the room that the AC unit is in and have tried to get her to drink and she drank a tiny amount but she doent seem to want to perk up. Any advice???

A luke warm bath may help perk her up, though keep her out of draft while she's wet.
Rodents do not do well in the heat, I hope she snaps out of it.

If you do not want to give her a bath, try giving her an ice cube.
