Yes, but you'll need to put a "roof" on it because they'll climb out.
There is no specific name for a cage for rats, its just based on what the housing is. So a cage for rats is just a cage. (Just like a hutch for rabbits is still a hutch even with no rabbits in)
Yes yes, that sounds fine for 2 rats. Though you would need to take them out of there cage, everyday for about an hour or to so they don't get bored or stressed.
Not all rats are afraid of cages. My rats have always loved their cage, and when let out to play would wander in and out at their leisure. If you have rats who are afraid of their cage maybe there is something in the cage they do not like, maybe the cage is too small, maybe the cage is not comfortable enough or in a good position. Maybe there is something near the cage that scares the rats or maybe they do not get enough playtime and then resist going back into their cage. There are many reasons why a rat may be fearful of their cage, so there is no definitive answer.
No.
no
yup, wild ones almost always do. And pet rats have their cage.
Rats are always going to chew. It is instinct. Their teeth never stop growing and they must chew on wood and other things to keep their teeth ground down. You will need a cage suitable for rats that they can not chew through. This would be a metal cage with bars close enough together that they can't escape or an aquarium with a metal cover. Be aware though, aquariums are not ventilated like the wire cages and must be kept very clean as it will hold ammonia and cause further problems.
Just keep it in it's cage or travel cage and it will be all right.
I own two full grown adult rats, and my cage is 3 stories...and around 200cm in height .. 120cm in lengh and 90cm in width...in my opinion that would be the minium size cage for two ADULT rats.... in my opinion this a good rat cage for this size and this price (ebay is the best place to look)
Justin was able to read "NIMH" on his cage, which stood for the National Institute of Mental Health. This indicated that the rats at the laboratory had been subjects in experiments conducted by the institute.
I just wanted to know if this cage is suitable (Alexander small pet cage on zoo plus) I know on the website it says yes but when i look online everyone says it needs to be glass?
If they are pet rats kept in a clean cage, then you can't catch anything. Otherwise they may have fleas.
