Cage help???

OK really struggling now but I do have my loan through so I am going to have to invest in a new cage unfortunately.

Am looking for one for 9 week old babies by the way!

Anyways have people had experience with the following cages? I know I would have to floor the wire ones with proper solid flooring. Any advice?

F22 Chinchilla Ferret Rat Three Storey Mammal Cage New on eBay (end time 12-Feb-11 23:01:33 GMT)

This is really bit much...but looks good and small bar spacing...

Re: Cage help???

the 1st one will be a pain to clean as i used to have the 2 storey one and it stunk of pee and it went all rusty.

the 2nd and 3rd ones are the same ones.
i have seen this cage in a pet shop and a think the bar spacing woild be too wide but fine as they got bigger.

how many rats are u popping in the cage?
if its not many what about the new jenny KD ferplast cage from here

Re: Cage help???

I'm not sure on the last two cages as I haven't seen them in person, so as blade100 stated the bar spacing might be too bag at the moment.
I would warn you off the first one, they are horrendous cages imo, they are a nightmare to clean and after a while will rust and the pee gets into the meta and just stinks

Re: Cage help???

I agree - I've got one of those first cages....it's now in bits hidden under the loft stairs :P It's really awful.
I love the look of the second one but you'd probs have to mesh it.
That new Jenny looks lovely too.

Re: Cage help???

This may be a bit expensive but it's perfect for rats
Chinchilla or large rat cage 102 on eBay (end time 05-Feb-11 01:21:46 GMT)

The bar spacing is quite small.
It can be used for either birds or small animals, so you would need a few cable ties to fasten the openings for the bird bowls but other than that it's brilliant
