Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2007Cage recomendation
Any recomendations on a cage for 3 young boys. I eventually plan to have them live in the superpet deluxe ferret home with Art and Tar. Right now they are in a Ferplast Mary cage, but it is too small as there is only the one level. I love the look of the Ferplast furet tower, but the spacing on the bars is 1.7cm and the boys are 8, 9 and 12 weeks old so they would go walkies. They really need more room as their scrapping is quite rough so it would be good for them to have more space to chill. > Any recomendations on a cage for 3 young boys.

If you already have a cage and the bars are just too far apart you could get screen mesh from any hardware store or any store that sells everything (we call it walmart here in the US). Its easy to put on and keeps them from getting out, while not making your cage look like crap. Its also really inexpensive. If you are wanting to buy a new cage, and money is not an issue then I would recommend either http://www3.shopping.com/xPC-Pets-International-Deluxe-My-First-Home-Multi-Floor -Large (though I dont know how wide the bars are http://www.coastcages.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4 6&zenid=6cae6f1bb7627bc323ae5022a01db3a8 (but make sure you ask him to remove the wheel first as i have heard that little rats tend to get stuck and it has caused many deaths. I would also suggest E-Bay, Amazon.com, or other online sites. But, if its just temporary and you already have one that might work but the bars are spaced too far i highly suggest the wire. i did it for the first few months, and it worked great, and only cost me 5-6 bucks. > How much are you willing or wanting to spend?

Not too worried about price, I was saving to build a new PC, but I don't need a new PC that badly. The big cage I have is where Art and Tar are right now, they were about 6 months old before they didn't escape, the bars on that are 2cm. The one I seen with the bars set at 1.7 is only 3mm smaller and with the wee guys being so young I am sure they would get out. Especially Behn as he is small and gets into everything. I like the look of the rat mansion, but can not see any in the uk:-( Also, if they are 1.7 cm, they shouldnt be able to fit... at least i dont think so. Are you sure they will get out? I'd even suggest putting them in that cage and seeing if they can get out. Though, the conversion might be wrong... my bars are .5 of an inch, but I'm not sure what that equals out to. > Also, if they are 1.7 cm, they shouldnt be able to fit... at least i dont > think so.

Two of them would definatly get out :-( > Also, if they are 1.7 cm, they shouldnt be able to fit... at least i dont > think so. Are you sure they will get out?

After much searching and reading online I decided against the cage I seen first on ebay as it is similar to this one: http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/resources/productreviews/review.php?c=4&p=28 the reviews are really bad, and the weight of the cage concerns me as well. So I have decided to get the furet tower after all, it won't be long before Behn is big enough not to escape from it and I thought it may be a good time to introduce them to Art and Tar, there is room for all 5 and it will be new to all of them. If the intros go well then they can all live in the tower, if not Art and Tar still have their big cage. Here are the reviews of the tower furet xl which is like half of the tower. http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/resources/productreviews/review.php?page=4&order=new est&c=4&p=36 Off to hack branches from my friends apple tree at the weekend :-) >>Also, if they are 1.7 cm, they shouldnt be able to fit... at least i dont >>think so.

Really narrows it down. They got a pet shop right across the street from where you suck cock for crack. Really. How the hell are we supposed to know where the f.ck you are in the U.K.?

It's www.martinscages.com These cages are wonderful and perfect for rats of all ages. For three rats, I'd recommend the R685 or the R680.

Thanks for the recomendation, I had a look and the cages are brilliant, only problem is they use Fedex, the last time I had a delivery from Fedex it took ages to arrive. I had a look around for similar cages in the UK and came accross this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330155986001&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014 and quick delivery. I haven't bought it yet as I thought I'd get a second opinion :-) It's only for a couple of months or so until they are big enough for the big cage. There's plenty of room for them to have toys and get away from each other if they want peace. And room for a litter pan in the corner, I'm cleaning their cage and changing their bedding nightly right now as they have towels in the cage and no litter pan. > >> Any recomendations on a cage for 3 young boys.

How about you get off your fat a.s, go to a pet store, look at the cages and make an educated decision. >> Any recomendations on a cage for 3 young boys.

I just couldn't take it right now. Can someone tell me how to block him? > Can someone tell me how to block him? I use Outlook Express to read my newsgroups, and if you go to the top of the page, where you see Message, then click on Block Sender, and voila, he's blocked. John ah, i dont use outlook... > ah, i dont use outlook... Most email programs and newsreaders can do it. Does your internet service provider offer newsgroups? No, so I guess I just have to put up with it. Its sad because he is so annoying |
