    https://gofund.me/5f235136 The details are on the GoFundMe page but basically. I feel the cage I have right now is too small. Therefore I let him roam free most of the time but, that in itself is stressful. No matter how much I clean or pick up I'm still terrified he's gonna find something I...

    Hello! Help with cages please

    What cages would you recommend for a first time rat owner with two rats? I’m not sure which one would be best, so I thought it’d be good to ask someone here :). Also, do you happen to have any spare cages that you’re not using? If not, that’s perfectly fine, just thought I’d ask that as well 😅

The levels are filled, so I don’t really need anything that sits on the ground, I just need things to...

    Is the middle panel in the 'Little Zoo Trekker' removable?

    I'm thinking about buying this enclosure, but I would want to remove the middle panel to give it a more active layout. Can anyone who owns this cage or has owned this cage tell me whether or not I can remove it? Thank you so much!

    Critter nation bars

    I plan on getting a critter nation super soon, before I bring rat babies home. I just want to double check that the bar spacing will be small enough that the new babies won't escape. I think you can bring them home as early as 6 weeks old?
