My setups

Right now I have two setups going on - I have my 3 girls in a 20 gallon tank with 2 stories of topper (it's over 3 feet tall total, and has full floors), and then Curly is in a 10 gallon tank until I get a different cage (he's still pretty small though).

I've been looking at different methods of making cages, and really like the whole cube stuff idea, so I might give that a go. Are the holes too big for rats though?

Also - in your setups, do you have a "litterbox" or do you have Carefresh (or the equilivent) in the whole bottom?

I see someone just putting out there that something is wrong.

Night isn't as rude as all of you seem to make her out to be. You just continue to take what she says negatively.

****, if she was just trying to attack someone her message would sound way different and she wouldn't have given any way to solve the problem.

Thos aren't her standards, they are standards for healthy living.

(edit) Also, I haven't seen her berate anyone, she's just stated what's bad for the rat and stated her logic. I certainly agree that you should have a cage before you get a rat. But unbeknownst to Night the rats were "dumped" on Chivahn, which is an understandable scenario of not having a cage before getting a rat.

i kept my boys in an aquarium for quiet some time it was HUGE and had plenty of ventilation and they thrived it in i had rat kept in there all of his life he lived to be almost four! it depends on how often you clean it and how much air flow it has a tank can work if you set it up properly and clean it every day! **** my iriquois preffered the tank rather than the wire cage!

Yet, a ten gallon aquarium isn't really adequate. :(

And one last thing before I drop the matter... I've always liked you, Vixie, but please don't patronize me because I used a bad choice of words on my comment. I do know what the standards are for healthy living.

I was not trying to patronize you, if you worded it wrong, I understand. It really was how you said she was pushing "her standards" on everyone that pushed me, because those truly aren't just one person's preferences, it's reccomended the world over.
