Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / December 2006northern ontario rat slaves . . need advice
I am looking for sources for a larger rat cage. At the moment girls have a 45gal tank but the boys only a 25 and even with free play time I know this is MUCH too small. I would dearly like to get larger cages for all but the boys definately need it so they are the priority. Used homemade wire cages 20 years ago, nothing elaborate, but don't have the time to build anything right now, perhaps in the spring. Was hoping someone could give me some relatively inexpensive ideas to house these brats, We heat with wood when the weather requires it so that might be something I have to keep in mind. So fire away. Elaine >I am looking for sources for a larger rat cage. I believe many people in Canada and the US swear by Martin's Cages - I don't really have that option being in England and to match what my lads currently have (a 58" x 34" x 17" Shak http://www.shakhouse.com with another cage section underneath for storage) I'd need something akin to a Ruud (R-699). Anyway the URL is http://www.martinscages.com/ I think you are best getting a powder coated cage.

Gravenhurst, so how north you consider that depends on how south you live : ) ...only 2 of each at the moment and as they are not spayed/neutered they live separately. Used to breed 15-20 years ago think I supplied all the local schools with rats for house & class : ) Haven't had ratties in about 10-15 years . getting old so years all blend in to each other Figure as far as cages go the bigger I can afford to get the better as I am pretty sure we are not going to be staying at 4 Priced some of the larger bird cages at the local petsmart and was shocked by the prices, as I said I've always created my own & I knew inflation would have affected prices, but still ...was hoping to find something between $60-$100 that would suit my needs but the cheapest I could find in a size I wanted was $120. Ah well may have to try to cobble together something on my own..find that there are not many cages the size I want for sale where I can get to them. Where are you located? >>How many boys and how many girls do you have? Where about in northern >>ontario are you? How big of a cage are you looking for?

I'm in Sudbury, more north than you. ;) I was going to suggest keep an eye on Kijiji and local classifieds. You can find some really good deals that way. If I find anything, I'll let you know.
