C&C for Rats

[CrazyZookeeper]

I have a friend with a pet rat. She is very impressed with my cavy cage and would like to make one for her rat. The question is... where do you get the smaller spaced grids? Or even the mesh ones? I am in Ontario and haven't seen them before. Or, do you have another suggestion for making a cage rat proof?

Thanks in advance

I would suggest a store bought cage for a rat. Ferret Nations are my absolute favorite.

Ferret Nation is a great cage. If you don't need the base with wheels, the add-on top is less expensive and would work very well for one ratty. Wickedrodent and Night have some great pictures in the gallery (cages for other pets). I think that it is Jadedragon that shows how a C&C cage was adapted for rats.

A C&C would have to wrapped in hardware cloth or something to prevent rats from escaping. My males are a good size and they can get out of grids.

I have an FN for my ratties and it works great. I need to put some pictures of it in the gallery.
