Is there a good big pet rat cage out there?

Question

I want to get a bigger cage for my rat. I want the bottom of the cage to be pretty big, and the levels to be plastic--not wire.

The one that I currently have is this one:

Answer 2

Generally those kinds of cages aren't the best because the rats can fall from the top floor to the ground floor with nothing to stop it.

Usually the plastic cages are built for ferrets and have that same problem, are you opposed to wire because it hurts their feet? It does, so i definitely get you on that one. but most of the safest cages are made of wire and you can buy grass mats and things like that to keep their feet off of it.

Some really good quality cages are at: http://www.martinscages.com/

but they're all wire cages. I have the Ruud cage at home and i love it, it's stocked with grass mats, which are inexpensive and they also love to chew on it, plus it helps to keep them from hurting their feet.

hope that helped some!

Personally, I have the Super Pet My First Home for Exotics and I'm very sastified with it for my two male rats. Plenty of room, and easy to clean. Here's my boys' cage:

Here's a link to more information on the cage:

Dimensions: 30"L x 18" W x 30"H

Only ''downside'' to the cage, is that the wire mesh wheel needs to be removed and replaced with a plastic wheel (or just left out of the cage, for rats who don't use wheels).
