Please comment on my cage!

Hi all!

I live in Hong Kong where it can easily gets to 90% humidity and 38 celcius. So I have this cage that is shown in the picture, it is around 24" wide and very tall with steps to jump up. It is made of very hard wood that are on the sides and the back, with the doors made of wired mesh (main parts) + glass fully openable.

The outside i have a thermometer monitoring the temperature inside the cage as well as humidity monitor. The top of the cage I have a hole where I can insert the output tube of a portable air conditioner (manufactured by tripplite used in server rooms to reduce heat) during the summer to reduce temperature.

The chins have their own individual houses that are cubicles within the cage that has a metal wall that i can insert ice packs, and two saucer wheels to run on.

My question is regarding ventilation. I also have an air purifier and dehumidifier on 24hrs a day, the air purifier output facing the cage for fresh air, but since 3 sides of my cage are hard wood, do you think my ventilation needs to be improved?

Please share your comments!

You don't want the air blowing directly at them from either the ac or the dehumidifier. It can make them sick rather quickly. Someone had posted this past summer that their husband thought he was doing good and rolled the cage under the ac vent and their chin got very sick with a uri in just a few hours.
