    Here's my ratties' cage! It's the rat manor from Petco. They started off in a two-level cage and I realized quickly that they needed more space. This is MUCH better. I use a litter pan as a bed, boxes as beds and hideaways. They are usually filled with old comfy clothes I've cut into pieces...

    I have a prevue cage. I am 90% sure its the prevue 495 model, and right now I have two 7-8 month old males. I am hoping to get 3 males next time i get rats, and i was wondering if 3 males is too many to fit in there? My rats get to run around between 30 mins- 2 hours a day. I will measure later...

    Hello! I know this must be asked all the time but I'm not sure I trust the online calculators as they always seem to give a high number. I currently have two girls (both four months old) and three neutered boys (around a year old) in my DCN. If I wanted to add another couple females, or maybe...

    Hello, I bought a used double critter nation the other day and when I was cleaning it before adding my girls to it (I haven’t yet), I notice quite a bit of rust. Is this really bad? Can I still use the cage? Is there any way to fix it? How do I fix the rust that is between the bars and frame...

    Odd question for the forum but does anyone whose ordered the dcn before from Walmart know if it comes with ramp covers? I saw that it's ~$20 cheaper than on Amazon but while the photos show ramp covers, it's not as clear in the desc.

    Hi! So I’m planning to make my rat cage naturalistic when I get 2 new future rats.

    I received the Prevue Feisty Ferret as a gift and as far as I can tell, it's suitable for the female rat pairing I have. However, the bars are vertical and I know horizontal is recommended for climbing. I was thinking of zip-tying those decorative hanging grids to the inside as a solution...

This is the first level Though there are a few accessories here I feel like there are...

  16. Meet My Rat
    So i finally got a new rat after my old one Harold Fairhair passed away. Pilgore has been dying to play with another rat. The breeder i went to is pretty decent too. I had to go sort of far away to get him too. He is only a baby, 3 months old. He is super affectionate. The breeder tamed them so...

    So i am preparing for the worst when Harry passes because of his brain tumor. Pilgore still has a lot of time and i don't want him to spend the rest of his life alone without his brother.
