Hey! Recently I’ve adopted three male rats from a woman who accidentally bred them. They are great boys, and I’ve dedicated a lot of time to researching good cage set ups. To say the least, they love their cage and have lots of fun exploring it which is great but I know you’re supposed to allow...

Hi, so... I need a cage. "Need" is a bit of an overstatement, I won't be able to own rats for another year or more, but I'm very determined to save money as early as possible to get a good cage right off the bat and other necessities. The thing is, I have some physical health issues which make...

Hey! I started using that Home Depot cement mixing pan I'm sure you all know about as my new bottom pan recently. I had to trim some of the sides off in order to make it fit but I apparently cut off too much because my rats keep slipping inbetween the litter pan and cage. It's become their new...

I want to take my rats (3 boys) with me places, and not just for a little day trip. Every couple of weeks I go up north to my fiancé's cabin with his family, usually for around 3 days, 2 nights (leave midday first day, stay all next day, leave morning/midday third day), the drive is about an...

I’ve had rats for around 11/2 to 2 years now and I keep educating myself on them more and more each day, at first the cage I had for them was utterly crap and I regret it so much but I have, in my eyes, improved a lot and I would just like some feedback on my cage and if I need to improve...

Two days ago, I found out that Martin's Cages is no longer selling directly to the public, and that they will only be selling some of their prefabbed cages via Chewy. Which was sad because I wanted to custom order a cage from them (I just purchased an R-690 from them about 3 months ago). So...
