Im getting babies that are only a couple weeks old, they will have just stopped nursing. what kind of temporary cage would you recommend for such little guys? (they will both be male, not sure if that matters)

Here is a guide for rat cages. It tells you what to look for as far as safety and size requirements etc.. It's got a lot of good info on starter cages for baby rats as well http://northstarrescue.org/pet-care-information/pet-rat-care/138-a-guide-to-pet-rat-cages

Really for little bubs 1/2" wire spacing is the only necessity for their cage. I recommend a large cage that isn't temporary with the small wire spacing. The website guide looks good

I was already given a really nice cage for free (a feisty ferret) so i plan on using that for them when they are adults. But the spacing is a whole inch and i know thats to big.

Oh gotcha. Do check and see if 1/2 inch chicken wire is any cheaper than a starter cage
