Is 24.5C too cold for my 25-day-old kittens to sleep in?

Question

can my 25days kittens sleep in a room with air conditioner 24.5C ?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Great question! During the first three weeks of life, kittens are unable to regulate their body temperature, so temperatures less than 27C can lead to hypothermia if their mother does not keep them warm. Usually by seven weeks of age, they can control their body temperature as well as an adult. Given your kittens are just over three weeks, this still may be a little bit cold for them. I would keep the temperature in their room a bit higher until they are closer to seven weeks of age. I hope this helps!
