I honestly wish I lived in a house as fab as these cages
Same here, seems fun ✌🥴
Great video! Unfortunately, I have only met one person who keeps their rats in a decent sized cage in all my life. It's so sad that tiny pet store cages are marketed for rats :(
Thanks! Aw yeah its a such a shame and they don't sell very many great sized cages over there I have seen! :(
PEACHY PETPARADISE I ended up getting the all living things rat starter cage it's all i can afford for now they are babies so it should be ok for a few months until I save up more money
I keep my girls in a critter nation! I love your channel btw
Yea , when I bought a rat cage from the pet shop ( it's still pretty big , like twice the minimum) I thought it was okay at first. I advertises itself for 4 rats , which is ridiculous, since my two boys are now full grown and I realise that they'd be better in a larger cage , which is why I'm here looking for a good one :D
Rats are so beautiful, so smart, so cute, so chubby, such wonderful pets!!! I love them forever! :)
They are all those and more! :)
PEACHY PETPARADISE yup haha! Have a great day :)
Too smart 😂
these are all so expensive 😩. I want to get my rat a new cage but I want to to be good but not to expensive. Do you have any recommendations? Please
The feisty ferret cage is a good cage for $125 you can get it from Amazon the bar spacing is 7/8 of a inch so it's not 1 inch but I would recommend to have males in there but some females can escape but some people say they can't
well when I get a rat Im going to get an alt starter rat cage. Its got a couple levels, comes with a flying saucer wheel. I dont like the look of the food though. I found it on petsmart and its 90 bucks

Yes, the All Living Things Rat Starter Kit is great, but the cage can only be for for two rats. The food isn't good, the bedding isn't enough, the flying saucer literally takes up half the cage on the bottom, and so yeah. I really like the cage, but the plastic may be a chewing problem . If you have any questions more about it, you can ask me! Thank You! Bye
Now, a REALLY good cage (which I am upgrading to later on) that is also expensive (-_-) $250! Is the All Living Things multi-level small animal cage. petsmart is 260 dollars, maybe more. It doesn't come with anything but is great and can fit, like, up to fifteen rats.
It's so sad when I see people who keep their rats in a tank/bin cage😓😭😥😞😖
It just pains me seeing people who know nothing about rats yet still got them
Both of my rats are in separate bin cages but they both have surprise litters.
@@rowanluscan376 just whenever you can please upgrade, for the health and wellness of your pets
Rowan Luscan do your research
daddy.dr_phil yehe all 5 of my girls are in a double critter nation, I have done a lot of research, both my rats were in separate bin cages bin cages because you are supposed to have your rats in a nursery (a bin cage) because it keeps the baby’s warm. And they were separated because you can’t have a rat with another rats baby’s because they could hurt them.
The editing on this video is amazing! Very informative, this will help a lot of future rat owners :) xx
Aw thank you, aha yeah I spent ages getting the editing right ;) Thank you, I sure hope so! :) x
Thank you so much for this, Peachy! I've been having so much cage trouble that there are FOUR cages in my bedroom. I cannot thank you enough. This is a blessing.
+Christina “Stina” McHugh Aw so glad you found this helpful! :)
No hate but most of the bars and vertical making it very hard for the rats to climb the bars horizontal bars are a lot better
Actually it doesn't matter about the direction of bars as rats are excellent climbers
When will i find a rat cage video with links that aren't UK lol
Stacy the umbreon weirdo When outside Europe actually sells more similar cages to this lol
What do you use for editing your videos? GREAT video by the way!
Jessica Trojan u do know that she put that in the description what she used
That last website was SO useful, as soon as I found a cage I thought was good I'd been stressing all day if it would house 3 rats. Thank goodness the cage size calculator put me at ease!
I love your channel and love your vids you are one of my favourite youtubers and several of your videos have made me feel better plus educated me more about pet care ! Thank you :) :D !
Aww thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my channel that much :D
hi! i am modifying 2 of my fairly large bird cages to be put together to make a 2 level high rat csge. will this be big enough to house 2 rats?
I think so:)
Ellen Anderson ,like to see that.
This is a really good video!! :)
Lovely video, you provided information on lots of great cages! :D
Thank you! :)
Awesome video! It looks like you put tones of time in it! I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, yeah aha I did spend ages making this, a good few days but I wanted to make it fun and interesting as well as informative! I am glad it looks it! :)
Ellen Anderson - Hey there, should be, depends on the size of your bird cage. Could you give me the dimensions of your cage? :)
Is the All Living Things rat starter kit good?

KING KO As temporary but not a full time living cage :)
PEACHY PETPARADISE aaQ
Which of these are good for 2 rats?
KingKnOcker I have this cage for my one rat and it is amazing and I can hang many toys one thing the bottom of the levels arent wired so I have to hang the toys off the walls and top
what about the petco rat manor is that a good one
The size is okay, but you need to cover the mesh levels and ladders
Amazing video! Had all the information I needed. Thank you so much ❤️️
Thank you! Glad it helped you :)
Great video! I have the Savic Royal Suite myself, and you are right... it is a fantastic cage :-)
Precious Little Rats Thank you! Thats great! :)
Elizabeth T - Most defiantly two, seeing as you don't know this, you must always get two or more rats, never one. Rats need companionship of their own kind at all times, with out it they can get very lonely easy, depressed, stressed, can't do rat things together like grooming, sleeping together in hideouts, eating together, play wrestling etc, that you as a human won't be able to offer them. Its basically vital for them. So always 2 or more never one. I have a video on rat companionship, which explains a lot more, so if you would like to find out more about the importance of rat companionship, then feel free to watch it, you may learn a lot you didn't know before about it :)
***** Probably yeah, I would suggest messing the C&C grids first
PEACHY PETPARADISE I have one rat then when I watched your videos I asked my mom and she said I can get another so she's not lonly and know in two days I am getting another one but I watched every video one UA-cam of have to introduce them and none help how should introduce them cause I don't want known to get hurt and I think it's time to ask you the expert and ps. My rat is a girl not fully grown and i am getting a baby one. And love your videos very helpful too 😍😙😘😛
***** The height of the cage is great but unfortunately the ground space is not so I would go for a cage with more ground space and still good height :)
If rats need to have company why do people at pet stores even allow selling one rat unless you already have rats at home ?
Amber Dann Because they know nothing about rats
Would you recommend one rat, or two? (I have heard some people say one is better and others say two is better.)
If you have loads of time and you have enough time to play with your rat for several hours a day, than one is enough, but if you don't have that much time and can't give your rat all the attention and companionship it needs then better get a second rat.
Elizabeth, you have probably heard this a lot of times but it's true you MUST GET 2 or more rats. You can't be with your rat ALL DAY because you might have school, parties, etc... Hope I helped:)- RattyTatty
Definitely 2 or more, while you might play with it a lot, you can't do some things only a rat can, like snuggling, cleaning each other and other rat-things.
Elizabeth T You HAVE to get 2 rats. So when your gone then your rats won't be lonely
Elizabeth T never get just one. At the very least 2. W 1 rat, it’ll be lonely n get depressed and fall ill.
I have a Savic Suite Royal XL. My rats love it, but they also get to go out of it on a daily basis. They're such wonderful animals.
Thanks for this video, it helped me know what to look for in a rat cage! I ended up choosing a royal suite xl :)
Good video!
Thanks!
Cute!
Thanks :)
Ferplast Furret Xl user here. It has a lot of place, I could literaly climb into it through the door and sit in it. The bar spacing is kinda big, but an adult rat can't fit through. While it's quite expensive, try to get one used, I got mine for about 1/5th of the original price and it was in fairly good condition (a few rust spots and a fe bars slightly bent due to equipment). An added bonus is that you can build two XLs into a tower with ease if you want to upgrade and if you're lucky you can get a used XL for $50
Is the Kaytee My First Home Habitat Multi-Level For Exotics a good cage?
I got it for my Kendall and she loves it!
It's a little under the minimum sorry :) Do you only have one rat?
yeah these sounds good and dandy when you have the money to back it up.
but yeah another thing for the rich right?.
You don't have to be rich to buy one of these cages. But you do have to have enough money for at least a suitable sized cage as they are going to be spending most of their lives in it. If you can't afford a suitable cage then you should not be having rats. Don't get a pet if you can't provide their needs
The Road so far That's what the diy section is for. :)
also don’t get mad at someone giving good advice if u aren’t willing to pay for proper care
@@peachypetparadise27 well, what I think on the road so far was getting at was, that at times these kind of video's could make those who don't have a lot of money feel bad because they don't have the room or the money for these kind of rat cages. They may not mean to, but they do. And even you have to agree that those cages are just a little overpriced.
I'm with ya. All those are way too much
Don't shop at petsmart (awareness)
why?
And don’t shop at Petco
Sm00thoperator I only get food and essentials their and not animals 🤗
@@craiggrains8029 yeah same
this is SO helpful!! thank you for doing this so well :)
+twirling4Him Glad you found this helpful! :)
This is a great informative video! Can't wait for the bad cages :) I'm sure this will help so many people!
Thank you! Hehe thanks, I am still working on it! I sure hope so :)
I just got the Royal Suite 95 delivered here about half an hour ago :D
Will need to assemble it over the weekend.
Thats great, its a lovely cage! :)
I recently bought a 6 story cage that I think was for ferrets. The bars are almost an inch apart so I just meshed it. They love it, just waiting on stuff we ordered to come in
yaaaaay amazing video! hehe the video turned out great! lots and lots of cages to choose from, this will help so many rat people, and the correct cages as well. hehe and thanks for the credit in the DIY cages, i do love my cage and am very proud, i would totally recommend anyone to build one, i might also do a video on how we put it together. it is by far one of the cheapest options, and very very customizable. but i wish i had this video before i got rats! i am very happy with my cage, but some people aren't crafty, and rather purchase a cage. Cant wait to see the bad rat cages video! that one i think will help so much as well and people don't already know. Lots and lots of links in the description hehe. Rattastic video!!!
Aw thank you owly! Yes hehe, I sure hope so! No problem, your cage is wonderful and I had to have it in this video! Yeah such a great idea from you and a cheaper way of getting a rat cage! Thanks, I am currently making it, Haha love it, rattastic!! :D Thank you! :)
PEACHY PETPARADISE hehe aww yeah! great! i have caught a cold along with allergies so i cannot film the video of me explaining the video now, maybe when im well again! hehe and yeah i just thought of it! rattastic! ahha
hamsterloverforever1 Oh dear, sorry your ill, hope you get better owly! Use your tweeting powers aha! Aww I would love to see that! Haha yes and its a super idea! ;)
I have the Ferplast Furret XL cage, but my two girl rats have managed to chew through the plastic bottom of it. I'm looking to get one of the double leveled cages right now. Going to avoid any cages with plastic bottoms from now on :)
peachy... peachy... this video just makes me want to adopt some ratties.. your doing it again to me.. LOL looks like you spend so much time on this video.. and honestly it was so very very helpful to me.. especially knowing what each cage is called and where to find it and purchase it.. i will be checking out these websites.. i really really like the critter nation one.. if i ever do decide to do this.. i will probably get that one.. ughhh im so thinking about it!!! haha i just always wanted some as pets.. they are just such sweethearts.. i would love to have the experience with rats and how they are as pets so bad! haha... thank you so much for this very helpful video hun!! huge hugs and lots of love
Aww hehe, I would love to see you with some ratties!
It's so nice for people to appreciate rats and understand their true beauty and true personalities.:)
RattyTatty4207 Yes it really is :)
this was very helpful! no other channel had info on specifics!
Glad it was helpful :)
I have the freddy 2 rat cage and I am getting my first rats on the 6th of January. I just want to say thanks so much because the information in your channel is great. If you could give me any other tips that would be great! Again, thank you very much, what you a re Doug miss very helpful! (:
+Lara Templeton Aw you're welcome, so glad I have helped you! Yes any questions you have I am happy to help :)
brilliant video! very informative and i bet they will help and educate people on the right size cages for their rats. :)
Thank you very much! :)
This video was sooo informational and perfectly edited!!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear, hehe I must admit there are some products over there in US or Canada that I really wish I could have aha! :)
No problem! 💕 Hahaha
Of the cages mentioned/shown, which ones were the largest (ground and height) and which ones had the most number of levels?
(I'm extremely tired so it was hard for me to keep track, haha)
Maybe watch the video again when you're awake :)
I have something similar to the Little Zoo X Trail Animal Cage and it's such a pain to clean. I don't recommend it and am looking for another to replace it.
+Makeshift Insanity Any kind of kind of double cages are usually a pain to clean, my one was. But the point is my rats loved it and had so much space for themselves.
Brilliant video! I have the Liberta Explorer for my ratties, it is perfect! :)
Thank you! Hehe I agree it is! :)
Like you're name for your account lol!:)
RattyTatty4207 Haha thanks! :)
Great video! I love how this was very informative!! :)
Thank you, glad you did and it hopefully wasn't too boring aha! ;)
It wasn't boring at all I hardly blinked!;)
RattyTatty4207 Haha that's great to know :)
Oh great video and the music is so very catchy 😉 very informative ☺️💖💖
Thank you, aha yes it is right ;) Thanks very much!
I’m getting the Critter Nation one tomorrow! It’s being delivered!!! Yay! My rats need a bigger cage because the other one they have right now is too small!
I know this is an old video but would the single level critter nation be suitable for 2 rats? If just doesn't have the top level. I believe it is 36x24x36 inches. Is that suitable for 2 rats? Or would you be better off just buying the top level too even though it is double the price?
PEACHY PETPARADISE Thanks!
Love your videos so much I'm getting 2 rat girls soon hopefully thanks for the help with all your videos 💕
Emma's zoo Thank you, aw thats great! Your welcome, so glad my videos have helped you! :)
I use a single story ferret nation which I did mesh but it’s so easy to assemble and clean!! I definitely recommend!! :D
YOUR A LEGEND !! :) thx this is so helpful x
Aw thank you, glad its helped you :)
Hi there! Is the Savic Zeno 2 cage ( 80 x 50 x 70 cm) a good option? I'm planning to get one for my two female rats!
Thanks for this video :)
May I be so much a bother to ask if you see a better choice in the ferret nation vs. critter nation ?
+Minty Mischief You're welcome. Not at all, I am here to help after all. Both are brilliant cages, the only thing I would say is the Ferret Nation would require meshing as the bar spacing is over half an inch so rats could squeeze through them no problem. Whereas the Critter Nation bar spacing is not too big so you wouldn't need to mesh the bars. So to save you the hassle of meshing the bars, the Critter Nation would be a better option. But of course if you don't mind spending some time meshing the bars then it really doesn't matter which you pick. Both are perfect for rats at the end of the day :)
Hi! I know this is an old video but hopefully someone can answer my question. For the ferplast ferret tower cage, is the bar spacing in that particular cage good for rats of all ages? Like 5 months and up? The bar spacing for that cage is 3/4 Inches.
I've been looking into getting a chinchilla and have definitely been doing my research. Do you think you could possibly do one of these videos on them? It'd mean a lot!
I was looking for double critternations,but I only have 30"bottom to work with.Help!
Jessica Trojan - I use Final Cut Pro X on apple computer. Thanks! :)
Amazing video - very informative! :)
Aw thanks so much! :)
I have the freddy 2 rat cage and it's wonderful. My rat pocus simply loves it!!!
Yes that is a great cage!
PEACHY PETPARADISE good
Here's a really weird question, I want to make a custom doll house for my rat like there will be the usual cage front on it, but the rest of it will be doll house with windows and i feel like it would provide a lot of stimulation but I don't know if it would make it cramped. I dont mean a dollhouse you usually give to your child like it would be 3 or 4 stories for 2 rats. I don't know how good they are with peeing and pooping anywhere but on the ground but I see people make houses for their hamsters and rats but ive never seen one be the cage itself. opinions?
GREAT video - i live in the uk also and im looking into owning ferrets so very helpful for that too
Thank you! Ah that's great :)
would you ever recommend large aquariums? I was thinking about getting my fancy rat a 20 gallon tank but I am not sure if it is the right option...
No they are not suitable for any rat, they don't provide enough ventilation for them, I suggest you go check out my bad rat cages video as I explain about the cages you will want to avoid. Also I would like to add, I noticed you said thinking about getting one. Please don't get one, you must always get 2 or more. Its vital rats are in companions. They are very social and need companionship of their own kind at all times with out them they can get really lonely and stressed and depressed too so make sure you get two or more, never 1 :)
3:09 i have that exact cage but cause we got male and female had to split them up until she is old enough to be pregnant and be able to hold a good size litter, sad to say we split them up but me and my sister interact with them every day and make sure and observe them to make sure they arent depressed and are still eating and drinking.
Just for future reference, I have the feisty ferret cage for my rats and the bar spacing is actually perfect, none of my rats, even the smaller ones, have ever been able to escape. The only time you might run into that problem is if you have a baby rat, like as in a 5 week old rat. Aside from that all our rats ranging from 2 years to 4 months haven't had a problem. That's not to say I necessarily recommend it though. In regards to the cage itself, the metal bends easily, the middle floor is completely wire, and it is almost the same price as the Prevue Pet Products 484 Deluxe Critter Cage that wasn't in this video. It is only $160 but the same size as the Double Ferret Nation for almost 100 dollars less. It's actually the cage we are saving up for now!
What was the distance between bars? I just bought a Large Critter Nation style but the bars are vertical, and 3/4 inches between bars. I am hoping it will still work.
I would like to purchase the Freddy 2 Max cage, however I noticed it had a plastic edging and bottom. With the rats be able to chew through that plastic? If so, what can I do to prevent/fix that problem? Thank you so much for all the help you've given me. :)
MS G No, most rats won't chew out of the cage base and so long as you have a thick layer of bedding, they won't be so distracted by the plastic base. Most custom rat cages have the plastic bases and no one has had any problems with rats chewing out of the base, so I wouldn't worry about that. I would buy the Freddy 2 Max Cage :)
Thank you so much! I'm really excited to give my rats a great home! :)
Can u make a video for mice? (Asking because I want to get some and want to do good)
hey I have a question when you showed the critter trail nation I noticed it looked like it had two separate sections and I saw a ramp leading to what looks like the upper section I just want to know if those connected in the middle because I didn't want to buy it if it doesnt
dom_person113 Yes the Critter Nation ramps connect to the next level of the cage :)
I was wondering if I could use the critter nation 1 level (161) for my hamster , the total square inches is 1,200+ sq inches but I was wondering if the hight is an issue as it is 24" high
+HamsterLover1305 You can, its obviously plenty big enough :) I have actually seen a pet youtuber house their hamster in this cage, and it seemed very happy living in it and the cage gave it plenty of space for toys and for the hamster itself. But I do suggest meshing all over the bars as the are a little too big spacing for hamsters. It is quite high yes, but this can be resolved if you hang lots of toys so if the hamster were to fall they wouldn't fall very far down and the toys would catch them. Rat cages are not the best option, but if thats the only option you can go for then thats fine :)
Awesome video!
Thanks! :)
Thank you! Now I know what is and what isn't ideal, I'm planning to get rats soon so this is very helpful.
I'm glad this helped you! :)
I'm making a c&c rat cage, however, my rats like to chew coroplast and cardboard, I also feel that tiles would not make a good pan since I need to cut oles for openings to go down. So I was wondering, what else I could line my cage with?
+Rebecca Sun You could line the cage with lino or vinyl and then put fleece on top :)
+PEACHY PETPARADISE (PEACHYPETPARADISE) alrighty thank you!
Is it possible to put one cage on top of another with the weight and all?I have a cage 30.5x19x30,just like one of yours.and put another one on top of it.?
Yes it is possible :)
Great video! :D
Thanks! :)
Is the furet plus rat cage suitable to house 2 female rats? I may be getting my first rats in a few months (if my parents agree!) and I have done my research, but in my eyes it's quite a small cage. Do you think it's alright?? If you cannot find it, it's on pets at home website. Thank you!
Would the Liberta regular size cage be okay for two rats? My mom might not like the price and I don’t have the money🤔
Is the rat in the end clip yours? He looks so sweet! Also I'm buying the double Critter Nation for my rats to give them tons of space. The one I found on chewy is very reasonably priced (for that particular cage, that is) and gives the rats plenty of space to run around, as well as having half an inch bar space.
thanks to you i now have the perfect cage for my three baby rats!!
That's wonderful :)
Okay so I have a weird question. I have This big rabbit hutch And I was wondering if you can keep rats in them?
I'm going to be getting 4 female baby rats. probably 2 hairless and 2 fancy. any recommendations? like type of cage, food brand, bedding? also I love your videos :D they are SOOO helpful
Hi, so I'm looking into getting two 5 week old rats that are females from my friend who accidentally had a male and a female together so the female had her babies and their 5wreks and I was wonderingis the double critter nation a good cage so they can't get through the bars? Just making sure cause I don't want to spend $218 and have them escape and I haven't seen the cage in real life so I don't know how big the bar spacing is?
Sorry that this is late but I got the critter nation double cage and I have my month old ratties living in it and the bar space is nice and the space is really nice the only problem is putting it together is pretty difficult. I put mine together alone in about 5 hours, it says you dont need tools but you will most likely need a rubber mallet as sometimes it doesn't align right sometimes but other than that it's a very nice cage
Hello, I've been looking in to the Liberta Explorer Cage and think it'd be perfect however some reviews brought up rusting issues with the rats' urine.
As you've had experience using this cage did you experience any rust? Would keeping on top of cleaning be enough to keep it at bay or did you have to modify it in some way?
I did experience a little rust but nothing major that effected how the rats lived. Even with daily cleaning of the bars, it still rusts but it's not something you should worry too much about. :)
Thank you for your reply. Could I also ask how long you had the cage for?
herebellama I used it for almost 3 years :)
Any recommendations on what to attach the mesh on with? My rats chew the zip ties.
This is late, but I would get threading wire (13-16g) and wrap it around
Hello, I was wondering if the Kennel-Aire cat playpen could be used for rats if it was covered with mesh?
+Mackenzie The ArtRat Yes it could :)
+PEACHY PETPARADISE (PEACHYPETPARADISE) Thanks lol. I already have two of my girls in it. Luckily they can't fit through the bars so I didn't have to cover it with mesh :)
Alot of these cages look similar to my ferret cage, would it still be big enough? ferrets only use their cage for eating drinking sleeping and a litter box otherwise it's free ranged around the houee
If should be if they are of similar size and bar spacing isn't too big :)
Great Video!
Thanks! :)
Hi I have an old bird cage it is 22 inches tall and10 1/2 wide but this is for baby dumbos when they grow I'm planing to get a much much larger cage is that a good cage for baby rats it is 3 stories high with a hamock and wheel and plenty of room to play
Hiya, I have a lazybones 3 tier rat cage its huge but has wire flooring. how do i fix this before i get my rats? also how many would I be able to house?
Hey, sorry to say but your cage the Lazy Bones 3 Storey is a bit small. I know it may seem huge because of the good height but the ground space is actually very small, not enough room for your rats to run around and that is another important factor for rats. A cage must be at least 80cm in length and your cage only measures 65cm making it under the minimum. So honestly, I would try and upgrade to a bigger cage :) But if you come across any wire problems in future, try clipping down fleece with binder clips ontop of the wire to cover them. Or buy some chloroplast plastic, cut to fit and that should cancel out the wire floor :)
I have a cage that is 76.2x76.2x76.2cm (30"x30"x30"), would that be big enough? Its a stacked cage, so my hedgehog is in the bottom half, and eventually I'm going to take out the middle level to give the rats the entire cage. Both halves are 76.2x76.2x76.2cm
how do you feel about the rat starter kit at petsmart?
I'm getting 3 rats and I wanted to know if a 16.9" x 25.2" x 51.6" is a good cage because it's very tall and has four levels but is it now wide enough?
It's too small sorry. The height is good but the length and width let it down.
Hi I was wondering if the imac rat 80 mid rat cage is ok? Cuz we r getting rats and my mum doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a cage. Thanks! ☺️
Olive Grove Yes it is suitable :)
Peachy,the cage I have now is multi level kaytee,and looking to move up for ratties 9 of them.
I have an idea. When i get my rats I will video them, and if possible, would you check out the vid and say whether the rats r OK or not and what I should do better. Also, my step mum says that boy rats wee all the time. Is that true?
We had an amazing large enough room for the rats but it had bored floor and it had like ladder to go higher and all he stories were bared and they could fit through the bars
So, I do not know if you will answer this but please do!!!
Would it be okay if I did a diy cage? I wanted to do an armoire but put mesh on the doors, and add levels on the inside! It should turn out to be huge, as I am planning on adding 2 furry rat friends to my animal family!
+Lit3rallyLilly So long as the DIY cage is made of mesh, is 80 x 50 x 60 and you can provide a plastic base big enough then it should be fine. But you will find it much easier buying a large cage instead because providing ventilation everywhere is vital. :)
I have the critter nation cage, what kind of meshing would you recommend?
You don't need to mesh the critter nation, the bar spacing is fine on that. It's the Ferret Nation where the bar spacing is too big :)
Peachy I was listening to you about the double doors and double rat cage ,I live in USA Florida and it looks like this has the bars are ok but I need to know the length of this cage,on the wheels included, before I order this I have 30" for length,and height around 5feet.please get back to me asap
I'm sorry which name of cage is it you have? :)
Is the hamberley single cage good?
I have a cage similar to the Freddy 2 Rat Cage just a bit bigger for two 🐀
Should I get a bigger one?
(I love you btw❤️❤️❤️❤️)
Maya E No that's a good size for two :) Thank you!
PEACHY PETPARADISE oh okay thanks for the info
What if you have a tight budget and can't spend as much on the cage?? Any cage recommendations for a cheap but still good alternative??
The Imac Rat 100 Mid Cage is quite an affordable price for a suitable rat cage which I recommended in this video
