i dont think cages can be too big haha just so long as they cant get out of it. that cage looks fine for a few rats

Answer 3

Its looks fine, as long as the holes aren't too big so they can't get out.

Answer 4

the bigger the better more room for the rats to play

Answer 5

it could use more selfs on it but the move room the better

Answer 6

I don't quite like the looks of it.  That's about $150 American cash and doesn't look worth it.  

Rats shouldn't walk on mesh, which is what that cage is made out of.  It will cause blisters and sores.  Which are very painful, considering they'd have to walk on them all all the time.

Ferret Nation cages are much better.  I have one for my chinchilla and love it.  You should try getting either the one full story cage or the two story cage.  I have model 142 and I think that'd be best, but if not, try Super Pet.  Their cages are around the same price and better.

Just make sure to double check the bar width to make sure it isn't too wide.

Answer 7

A cage can never be too big for a rat!

The bigger the better. Rats always appreciate the extra room to romp around. Just make sure the floor isn't wire. (If so, cover it with something)

But, if it looks too empty to you, that doesn't mean it always is.

That is a rat cage calculator, and it will tell you how many rats can fit in your cage. Just type in the dimensions.

But from the picture, it looks like a nice sized cage. =)

Make sure they can get to the shelves lol and make sure the holes aren't big enough so they can get thier head or leg stuck in there, that could be terrible
