How many cm in length and height should a cage for two or three rats be?

Well for three rats there should be three levels I don't know the length or width but there should be a lot of space and that is because as they get bigger they need more room. My friend has rats and she had hers made I don't where but it is great it has three levels and she has four rats but the bottom level is close to the bottom of the cage and so it is a hiddy sort of place and she has so many toys you can't see the rats. If you get a cage get one with levels.

How do you stop a male fancy mouse from being mean to another male fancy?

You take both the of the rats and put them in an area that neither of them have claimed. Keep them in their for about 2 days. You have to keep an eye on them though. Once they are good together move them back into the old cage. If this does not work then you may not sue me. Also you can take the one that isn't mean and get it a new cage. Next time you get rats I advise you to buy the same litter.

Why are rats afraid of cages?

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.


Is it bad for fancy rats bedding to be wet?

Yes - any non-aquatic animals' bedding should be dry, unless pet care guides indicate that it should be damp. For a rat's bedding to be wet it indicates that the rat(s) have urinated in the bedding, in which case it needs to be changed and the cage cleaned.
