i wanna see everyones pets

im thinking about getting a large cage, looks like a ferret type cage, i saw one here with a group of female rats, forgot which member sorry (found it on craigslist) but im still up in the air on whether or not to pick it up, $20 seems like a steal if it has all its parts

ive listed mine in other posts lol but will again later

Here are my breeder tanks. A few are vacant now and one has feed in it; only have one dam on babies, but two are preggo. I just fed off 6 weaners last night; fat, happy snakes. In these tanks are 2 preggos, one male I am growing up, and my breeder male with his current girlfriend. I keep my large feed-mix bucket in the chest freezer to keep away feed bugs. I bag about a week's worth to make it easier on myself.
My rats are not pets; they are feed. If I got out of snakes, there would be no more rats for me! (not that that would happen..)

wow, i cant imagine having a room dedicated to the feeders like that lol... im a huge horse lover so i love the painting on your wall. i just sold our 2yr old APHA blue roan gelding a year ago.. before that we had a OTTB stallion and mare i miss our horses! were getting our son a small horse sometime next year, we hope he can continue the rodeo legacy

I love horses too. This used to be my art room, until I moved that stuff into the dining room, so hence the painting on the wall. This is actually also a laundry and utility room also; it is great to have the sink in there for tank-cleaning, and it is where I clean out my snakes' tubs also.

Might you be thinking this?



If the one you found is similar to mine, then $20 isn't just a steal...it's a frickin crime! I paid over $200 for that cage, not counting the hardware and wire to convert it.

Good luck.

[ADEE]

yes, something very similar. not as tall more box shaped, i do plan to pick it up though! i think the one im getting is more for ferrets, please check my post in "other pets" about litter training! i have a few questions about that enclosure (yours) if i find the pic of the one shes selling ill post it for comments on it.. i want to be a smart buyer for our little girls!


thats what shes selling for 20

LOL we're playing post tag here.

I know that cage type, we had one just like it as a quarantine cage for ferrets at the store. As long as it's still in good shape, it should serve well. See my post to you in 'Rat Cages' for info on wire bottoms.
As for the wire sides, you have to make sure the spaces are no more than 1/2". Most ferret/rabbit cages have much wider spaces, closer to 1", that a rat will find a way to squeeze through...or injure itself trying. That's why I put the hardware cloth wire over my girl's cage.

I think you should be fine with that cage there, as long as you make sure of the wire space (which I think was ok from the cage I remember) and maybe use the "Magic Mat' I was talking about in the other post to cover the shelves.

What do you other rat enthusiasts think?

Argentra - I love that setup....It is like a rat heaven

Here's my setup. These are breeder/feeders.....

First the mouse cages



I have just recently gotten into rats..Iam experimenting with them trying to see what the best way to house/breed them for me is...So here are their cages

[Kagez28]
