My mice seem so inactive these days cause of the heat, we dont have AC but fans everywhere instead (save energy and the environment) but they still seem so hot...and i dont know what i can do to give them a break from the heat!

Fans help. Freeze ice packs and put them under the cage or tank to help cool things off. Freeze water in a tupperware container, then place the whole thing (with lid on ) in the cage so they can lie up against it. They may try to chew through it so watch out it doesn't melt in the cage.

i use to put the mice in whatever is the coolest part of the house wring out a wet towel a put it over the cage also frozen peas in their water helps do not put a fan near your mice mine got a respertory infection maybe at a distance on low in a room maybe direct fans can cause breathing problems later along time after the heat has gone and as most vets know so little about mice they usually get put down.

I sympathise, but never have a fan blowing directly on caged pets! It's not healthy for them at all.
Is your bathroom tiled? Is it maybe cooler in there for your mice?
Just remember that air circulation is the important thing...not a draft. Good luck.

Put them in a small tub of cold water, put icecubes in their water and you can shave them down a bit. You can also put a wet towel in the freezer(Not the refridgerator)and put it on the floor if the cage along with some chunks of ice to keep it colder longer.

Poor little things!
See if you can't get ahold of one of those fans meant for cars that hook over the window, and run on solar power. You might be able to set it up on their cage and get the air circulating right where they live.
Are they getting cool water? They might like that.

give them frozen fruit to eat or pop an ice cube in their cage. I have rats and this seems to work quite well.
