Right now, I only have two rats, but I have the GGMR badly.
But I had a hard time finding a large cage for rats where I live (northern Canada). Ordering online is made expensive by shipping and customs fees, so I looked at what I could make myself.
I found a wire dog kennel for large dogs (and bought it). The dimensions are big: 42 x 28 x 31 inches. The bar spacing is much too wide, of course. My rats can run in and out no problem, lol. But my husband will cover it all with mesh wire and we'll put in covered shelves and tons of toys etc.
Has anyone else done this? Is this a good idea?
