Hi folks. After reading a lot on this site I decided to get some rats. My cage arrived today, it's still a little bit bare but it's getting there! I'm adopting 3 rats from niki87, should be getting them this weekend, very exciting!

Here's a picture of the cage:

Hi & welcome
The cage looks good, there's loads of sites that sell cage furniture for things like hammocks, extra tubes, shelves etc, your ratties will be spoilt for choice

Thanks Any reccomendations of websites to use?

Hi there, i am soooo jealous all these people getting baby rats, i am still waiting for mine to be born. But at least i have my 5 girls to keep me sane. The cage is looking good. I get accessories from www.EquineCanineFeline.com Online Pet Accessories, Pet Supplies, Horse Accessories & Equestrian Supplies in one place with FAST UK Delivery! or The Rat Warehouse. Its also a good idea to join Fancy Rats | Home they have loads of ratty info on there and lots of members put pictures of how to make ratty accessories and toys on there too.

Look forward to seeing pics of the new ratties soon.

You can get out of it, go on admit it haha ive got spongebob stuff all over and a kiddies dinosuar cup with its on straw at my mums and im 20 :O haha


Although size wise jenny cages are nice, i had two and ended up getting so annoyed because of the lack of acess from the sides (although they can be modified) i ended up getting rid of mine in favour for something else are i had two biting boys that were hard to grab hold of.


However is there plenty of things you can do

Instead of buying hammocks and expensive toys and furniture for the cages as my rats would just destroy everything.

Best advice is get your self to wilkinsons and pound shops and let your imiagination run riot just make sure none of it is toxic.

wine racks make good climbing,wilko's small baskets are good,tea towels to make hammocks out of.cardboard boxes.

the more stuff in the cage the better as rats love to climb and explore.

oh and parrot ropes and ladders are good too.

Thanks! I'll get photos up as soon as they move in!

That's a plan, i'll still manage to spend a fortune aha!
NOOO it really isn't mine, although I may have a mickey mouse one I'm 20 too!

Thanks!! I'll have a nosey.

One more thing I meant to ask, the tunnel in the cage didn't come with chains to hang it up. So i've just used string, but it's kind of plasticy. I'm guessing the rats will chew it, it won't do them any harm will it?

Anyone? I'm sure it'll be fine but I worry about these things!
