first off don't buy it a cage buy it a tank cause it can squeeze through a cage. it need bedding and a little home and maybe a wheel. and food and a water bottle.
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)
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.
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)
Just keep it in it's cage or travel cage and it will be all right.
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.
If they are pet rats kept in a clean cage, then you can't catch anything. Otherwise they may have fleas.
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.
No. Hamster rat cage don't have enough space to pet rats. You can use Midwest Critter Nation rat cage. It has plenty of space to play and move around. You can check the reviews here- bestratpoisons. com/rat-cage-for-2-rats
Yes they stay stinky if you don't clean their cage.
