How you can tell if the cage bars are to far apart is if its head can fit through them than the gap is to big
Well if ur rat is skinny then divide the spaces of the bars into the width of the rat.I know it sounds complicated but its not trust me.:D
Just use a large bird cage, or a rabbit cage. My rat has a rabbit cage, and she's as happy as can be. My old rat had a bird cage, and he was perfectly fine.
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
A cage.
Yes
They nibble on food, fingers, and almost anything you put in their cage. You can put a wooden block in your rat's cage for them to chew on. Never put you finger in a very fiesty rat's cage or it will bite you and it will hurt. Badly.
Using A Bird Cage For A Rat:Absolutley! Rats like to climb. You can make a playground through the bid cage with rope, cardboard, and really anything else. You rats would love it!A rat can be put into a bird cage as long as the cage has been properly modified to suit a rat.No you shouldn't put a rat in a bird cage because birds have different surroundings then rats and they need different homes.If the cage is big enough, and the bottom is not wire... then sure. It doesn't really matter what species the cage is labeled for, so long as it meets your animal's housing requirements. I've kept rats in bird cages.Yes. As long as the wire is close enough together so the rat can't get stuck and make sure all doors are very secure. If the bottom of the cage is plastic keep a close eye on it because they can chew a hole. Rats are very intelligent and can figure out how to escape easily.There are pros and cons: only if the cage has a big enough floor space and No because if they climb to the top of the cage and fall off it's a long way to fall and the rat could hurt itself. It might get it's head stuck in the wire. If you don't put soft bedding (newspaper and wood shavings) on the floor the rat/mouse's feet might fall through the floor and the wire under their feet is just uncomfortable. It doesn't cost much more to buy a rat cage.Yes, there are plenty of good bird cages that you can modify by adding levels and hammocks, you can basically pack it full of toys. I had a hard time deciding to get a rat cage or a bird cage. Just remove the wire bottom.Yes, but make sure that the on the bottom of the cage there is no way your rat friend can get his foot (or any other body part) stuck and you can buy little platforms that will connect to the side of a cage and hammocks for ferrets or other small animals will create a cozy environment and if your rat is small enough for a house if you take an empty tissue box and take off all the plastic from the top then that would work too my rats loved it.Yes you can put a rat in a bird cage as long as all the doors are secure and it cant get out or stuck through the bars. The rat will enjoy playing and climbing on the toys and bars in the cage I know my rat would!I have a pet rat and she lives in a bird cage that i modified because rat cages are too expensive and many deals include a rat which i didnt need. My rat loves her cage and acts like any other normal rat.My rats also live in a bird cage that has been modified. Bird cages are also much cheaper than rat cages.yes, just make sure that the bottom is not wire, there is not enough space between the bars so that the rat can escape, and there is enough space.
They learn how to read in NIHM. Justin, a rat, learns that the cage has a metal tab on the edge of the cage. The tab says "pull nob out and slide". Justin noticed the nob is under the cage about 1-inch. Justin followed the directions on the metal tab. The cage opens. He tells Nicodemous, a rat, to do the same thing, and the news spreads throughout the room.
kill the rat
the worst habitat probley for rats is a small guinea pig cage. If you are looking for a good rat cage you should try the livingworld ferret or rat cage!!!! (best cage) For pet rats, the worst possible habitat is in the wild. Domestic bred rats have a harder time surviving then wild born ones. As for cages, a very small (3 gal or less) glass tank is the worst. Not only would the small size make it rather uncomfortable and boring to live in, but the glass walls prevent air circulation and promotes many respiratory problems. A large bared cage with the bars set very far apart is hardly better, though, as the rat can easily slip threw the bars. To make the cage even worse, you would have colored paper as bedding, a bunch of oily "fatty" foods such as sun flower seeds only, and little, if any, toys. Ideally the best way to keep a rat is in a medium sized cage with bars close enough together that he wont be able to fit his head threw. The floor should be a soft bedding, preferably NOT sawdust or anything that has been dyed, and several toys and ladders should decorate the cage to keep him entertained. His food should be a healthy blend of fruits, veggies, soy products, and cooked rice.
Get the dust out his cage...
