A huge plastic storage box as a cage for rats2007-11-24 21:57:16

i have this HUGE plastic storage box with clear sides and the lid was cut to fit a screen and it used to have a guinea pig in it, but she died awhile ago. could it hold rats if i wanted it to?

Answers:

I used one for my rats, as well as my guinea pig and a house trained rabbit.

Just make sure they have plenty of room and lots of toys to play with (rats love toys) and they'll be fine. Also, you have to be CAREFUL because if given the chance they'll chew a hole right in the lid or anyplace else they can get a good bite into and they'll escape!

Yes although it depends on how many though definitly YES! how crative of you

I'd be afraid they'd chew right out of it... Rats need a sturdier enclosure than just that, but you can try it and keep a sharp eye out in case they start chewing.

It wouldn't hold rats for very long. They would chew a hole in the side and get free.

yea but they could possibly chew threw it and the screen

Defiently what a creative idea!!! Probably no more than 5 rats though!

It is not a good idea as rats can chew through just about anything. I had a rat(got her from a pet store) she escaped and chew through concrete into the next store(took her a few months, lol)
