What kind of rat cage or ferret cage for rats do you like best2007-11-24 22:17:45

I'm having trouble finding good rat cages.

Answers:

Depends. If you have females or young rats, you need bars with smallest bar spacing, no more than 1/2" really. Maybe 3/4" if they're chunky. Male rats are fine with 1" spacing, like most ferret cages.

I just got this cage: http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/b0001rtv3e/...

And I love it! It's big enough for probably 2 or 3 males. Got about 1" bar spacing, which my male couldn't possibly escape from! It's just beautiful. It's got 2 big doors which take up the middle 1/3 of the front.. but much better access than a top flap.

Main thing is none with wire bars if pos.. certainly the bottom should be solid for him to sleep on.

Sometimes it depends on wat kind of toys u put in to make the rat like the cage. U know the saying the bigger the better!

Get a multiple story wire cage. I got mine at Petco. They have all different sizes of the same cage and I got the biggest one and it was only about thirty dollars. My rats love to run around and climb so the cage is perfect. When looking for a cage, try to get the biggest one you can even if it looks giant, get the biggest one you have room for and can affored. Also, check the internet. Some online sites have good cages. First, I would recommend the pet stores where you live.

I like the ones they can't escape from!

Definitely try Martin's Cages or Coast Cages. Both of these are great brands and I've had cages from both and was very satisfied. The Coast Cages Rat Mansion is a really nice one, and the larger Martin's Cages are also good. martinscages.com and coastcages.com sell these cages, and you can also get Coast Cages at Petco.

try looking for cages that are user friendly, more so for you then your rats.
