Re: cage???
You really need atleast two rats are really social and will become bored, have behavioural problems if kept alone

Try looking for a freddy 2 rat cage they are excellent cages for 2 rats

Re: cage???
You really need at least 2 rats as they are very social animals, a lone rat will be a very depressed rat

As for the cage I'm afraid it isn't even suitable for hamsters
Have a look for a Freddy 2 or a Jenny KD

Re: cage???
What's your budget?
This could be a nice cage
NEW RODENT CHINCHILLA RAT FERRET DEGU CAGE 27900 | eBay

Savic Freddy 2 Cage for Rats, Chinchillas, Hamsters, Mice, Degu and Ferrets. | eBay

Savic Freddy 2 Max Rat/Ferret Cage | eBay

Ferret Plus Rat Cage by Ferplast | eBay

Jenny rat cage | eBay

Try out preloved aswell.

Both of my cages have been bargains from ebay- I never buy brand new. My latest bargain was a Ferplast Furet XL- only been used for a couple of months, no wear to it at all for £32.50
Definitely hunt around for second-hand first!

Those cages are horrible, and aren't suitable for 2 rats I'm afraid. Check out the links above so you have an idea of what to look for

Re: cage???
Don't be fooled by those cages.
They don't look very nice for a start, they're not very good and very flimsy too.
You can get some amazing second-hand cages.
This is mine:


Cost £47.50 altogether. And is in perfect condition.

They rust like no tomorrow and they stink after a while the bars seem to soak up all the wee etc

A big second hand cage would be prefect if you have room an abode would also be a great cage

Were abouts are you? We could always help to find some excellent second hand cages for under £50 normally (Freddy 2 can go for around £10-20 sometimes!)
