I am buying a second cage because I think my R695 is getting too crowded. I love my Martin's cage but they're kind of pricey at times. So I was curious about what you guys all thought of this cage. The Super Pet Deluxe Ferret Home. The calculator says it can hold up to 5 rats. let me know what you guys think!

I had a cage almost identical and made by the same company, and I've got to say ... I didn't like it at all. In fact, I just gave it away the other day.

It is really hard to clean and the plastic absorbs smell like you would not believe.

Sorry to be a buzzkill.

Ive put that cage together and I wouldn't put 5 rats in it. The shelves are small so they really don't add much floor space. Did you check ebay or craigslist? Sometimes you can get really good deals that way

I have a cage kinda like that,but much taller,it smells,I have to clean it alot,but I wouldn't have it any other way(Ollie Loves it!)
its up to you,it is kinda hard to clean,and I'm not sure about 5 rats in it

Ok thanks for the input. I was thinking of just taking out the shelves it comes with completely and adding my own shelves and a entire full second floor. What do you guys think?

What is that stuff you guys usually use to make your own cages?

If i make those modifications and put lots of hammocks do you think that I could put 4 rats in there? Or should I put 3?

It big and spacey, but you wouldnt want the smell to stick into the plastic

My two ferrets came with that cage. I believe you can add tubes to the outside (where the two small "doors" are) like: http://www.ferret.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=650767+003&Category=Ferret Cages&subCategory=Super Pet Cages

But of course the cage you posted would have the tubes bought sepertaly and the little doors could be put back on if you decided to take the tubes off.

I would never want that cage for rats tho, as the doors are Small and rats need cleaning more often than ferrets!

I dont particularly like that cage, ive heard people say that it smells outside the forum, and i dont know how much extra floor space the other levels add
