Ratties C&C cages for rats?

.

You could always add extra wires to make the holes smaller.

At target they have new grids with smaller holes.

I covered mine with 1/4inch hardware cloth. pics in my gallery,

I'm halfway through building a 2x2x3 c and c cage for my rat. I haven't bought the hardware cloth yet.

if you can buy the small size grids i say go for it, the regular 1x1 size grads are much too big, rats walk through them. i wish i could buy small grids here i would have too much fun making cages

i no this is old but if any of yous have made c and c rat cages can u plz post pics??
thanks

agpiggy- Please don't use chatspeak. If you want people to help you, they have to be able to read it. If you look in the photo gallery there is a section on cages for other pets.

Im sooo sorry... i usually write like that on msn and i forgot!! im sooooo sorry!

Watch out for smaller grids. Rats are rodents with collapsible backbones, they can fit under a door jam and through very very very tiny places. They climb like champions and jump like olympians. I swear they are small version of houdini so I would use Mesh grids if you are gonna make one of these and maybe find some mesh for the top maybe with a wooden overlap just to be safe.

Wheekwheek

Make sure the rat does not chew out of the mesh grid. My hamster chewed through her plastic cage.
