Cages for soft furred rats

We went out today and got a real home for our little ratties. Its the same exact cage as you see above. Rat Habitat by Super Pet: Habitat Defined.

When you first see soft furred rats, you will probably not think RAT and might start to think that one of those hamster cages with all those tubes and tunnels would be oh so cute! These guys get bigger than you may think and while the bar spacing on cages for hamsters is great, these rats could possibly get stuck in the tubes or those little wheels that are closed up but have the holes in them. I wouldn't trust them. The last thing I want is for my little rats to get stuck/hurt.

With ALL PETS keep the full grown adult size in mind. Plan for an adult animal, not the little baby animal you are bringing home.
