Re: Can I please have some opinions?...
I got the same cage as that on Ebay for £10, but only intended to use as a 'hospital' cage, or for travelling with the rats Daffee is right and it does look bigger in the photo than it actually is. I hope you find a good cage bargain soon though

If you go to :
http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/information ... alculator/
Put in the sizes it will tell you how many rats it can house. Personally i would says its too small for a permenant home but the calc says it will house 2 rats. The other problems with it is all that wood. I have always found that rats + wooden levels = a very chewed and smelly cage.
Have you tried joining freegle or freecycle? I have donated cages before on this and recenly been given a large hamster cgae on this for my babies to help them settle.

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.

DO NOT BUY THAT CAGE! I did for one rat before i knew about keeping more than one and cage sizes etc I hated it was to small and a night mare to clean. it's terrible please don't make the same mistake as I did.
I only had one girl in it for a few month then i got rid of that curs of a cage and moved her into a big one with a friend for her.

Yep, definitely put him back in the hammy cage for a few days to recouperate. He will feel more secure as it's what he's used to and if you give him too much space he may get shy or not have enough rest.pb632 wrote:I'm in Caerleon, newport, gwent.

Fab I like Jennys not just the door but they are nice and roomy!
I'd put him back in the hammy cage for a while good luck

Re: Can I please have some opinions?...
I'd put him in his hamster cage overnight (just so the anaesthetic can wear off), but after that he's better off in a nice sized cage where he can exercsie and explore.pb632 wrote:I'm in Caerleon, newport, gwent.

Re: Can I please have some opinions?...
Well hes in his cage now, and he loves his hammock! He'll probs spend alot of time in that as he'll be so tired from actually having some space to play and run around!! How many rats will a jenny hold? as I am hoping to introduce my female to him, at the moment im unsre wether she is pregnant so it wont be for a while until the time has passed that I can be sure shes not! Thanks
