Suitable rat cage?
Has anyone got this cage or know anyone who has? And also how many rats do you think this could home?

Re: Suitable rat cage?
According to the Fancy-Rats cage calculator, it would hold 7 ratties.

It's a nice looking cage, you could add more floorspace with extra bits and pieces. My only worry would be young ones and does escaping through the bars, they look very wide.

Re: Suitable rat cage?
I've seen one up close & I was surprised by how small they are compared to the photos, I do like the plastic shelves & ladders as they're easier to clean than wooden ones but was unimpressed with the overall size of the cage

Re: Suitable rat cage?
I have measured it and it seems quite big. They do have a larger one though.

Re: Suitable rat cage?
I'm pretty sure the bar space is 2cm so it's only suitable for adults bucks

Much better cages for less money or a little more

Re: Suitable rat cage?
How many rats are you planning on keeping? I'm sure there's enough rattie folk here to have tried just about every cage going We could help suggest something suitable and cheap enough if you like.

Re: Suitable rat cage?
Well I have 2 at the minute but would like to get 2 maybe 4 more. I want a large one but obviously don't want to spend anymore than £150.

According to the cage calculator it holds 6. I've had 4 girls in one and it was plenty big enough for them. The bar spacing is a nice size as well. The smallest rat I've had in mine was a 15 week old doe, and she was very small for her age yet she never escaped.
