I have been doing some research on rat cages so I have a pretty good idea of what would work ideally but I wanted to check with you all about a few things...
I have two cages not being used that I had purchased for my guinea pigs. I understand rats require more height than width but until I can afford one of the Martin 685 or 690 I wanted to make do with what I had.
I have a super pet style cage with a small platform on one side that measures 39x18x16.5 with 1 in bar space. And a Marchioro cage 32x15.5x19.5 with 1 in bar space.
Size wise I feel either would do for two 5 wk olds, but my concern is the bar spacing. I am thinking of getting some galvanized fabric to wrap around it but if someone else has another suggestion please let me know.
I have an online handcrafted accessories for small pets store on Etsy called the ThreePiggies so I have plenty of hammocks, cuddle sacks, burrow bags, potty pads etc...to fill up their cages for weeks. Toys and comfort won't be a problem.
Will post again about food, litter training, and water bottles.
Thanks for any advice on the cages!
