I think the biggest problem I see with most rat cage setups in my country's rodent groups is the lack of enrichment. A lot will just have a litter corner, a house, maybe a hammock or a sputnik and some chew toys. Awesome video though, will definitely be linking it to those who need some more help with their rat care or are thinking about getting rats. ❤🐀

If you're on a budget, this is what we did. We used a $100 large dog crate, which I covered with mesh (attached with zip ties). Not expensive, just a bit of time involved. Bedding was dirt, dug from the garden, and hay. The dirt absorbs odour, we change every 3 weeks. One litter tray in the corner and they poo there almost exclusively. The cage is filled with branches from the garden, cardboard boxes for nests (although they also make nests in the hay), old ropes, a hanging plant basket, plastic tubes from the hardware store. Hammocks are old clothes, T-shirts or kids track pants, attached with clips to the top of the cage. Our 4 girls are the happiest rats ever in this set up, and most of this is free.

For the playpen thing: the storage cubes are normally called c&c cages in the US. That stands for cubes and coroplast. Just wanted to pop that in here for anyone in the US who didn’t know what it was. These are used very often for guinea pig enclosures but obviously can also be used for other small pets like rats, rabbits, ferrets and perhaps even mice if you get the panel-type cubes rather than the bar type. Thank you for sharing your advice. I don’t own rats atm, but I would love to get at least a pair some day when I’ve got more room. Living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 adults, 3 kids and a whole slew of pets from reptiles to rodents (I believe the count is 19 reptiles, 2 guinea pigs, 20 mice [accidental pregnancies from lack of research. Don’t make my mistake! Do your research!] and 2 dogs), I just don’t have the proper amount of time or space for them right now. So I live vicariously through you on the rat front. 😅

Instead of the cute (and expensive) hammocks I have bought for my rats, they choose to sleep either on the plastic shelves that came with the cage or the hammocks I have made them from a kitchen rags 😂 Definitely recommend them though! Cheap, come every color, easy to make and most important: super easy to wash and dry quickly. Just make sure they are made from rat safe materials and don't have any chemicals. Also glass & metal drinking bottles are the best! I have those + metal cups they drink from.

My new favorite thing is having a small animal playpen from Amazon for their outside playtime. I fill it with different areas, So I have a glass pie dish with shallow water they use for drinking and bathing and bobbing for pea treats, they have a box filled with macaroni they like snacking on, and cardboard scrap boxes from soda cans filled with crinkle paper. It's my new fave thing asking if they wanna go play and letting them forage and nest for an hour at a time while I clean their cage or hang out on my laptop 🥹 I also traded their old pan in their critter nation with a cement mixing bin and I was so happy seeing one of my boys popcorn around and bury himself in his bedding

For potty corners, my rats mostly understand to poop in them and they don't poop in their cage as much. I have a split upstairs and downstairs so my rats thought that "hey we poop in this corner downstairs, we can do it upstairs too!" So after the first couple days having just 1, I had to go pick up another for the upstairs, bit oh my gosh has having these changed cage cleans! It's so much easier and I can reuse their bedding more which also saves a bit of money. Wish I had trained them sooner to use it! They still never really got the whole 'pee in it too' thing tho😂😂😂

But I want the animals to have a good care because a lot of rodents live kind of short lives (around 2 years) and you never know if they will be adopted in there life. So we're going to need some permanent quality homes, temporary or permanent, and like in big pet stores, with hamsters you'll see like a million hamsters in one cage, but hamsters like to live alone... So yeah we ain't going to do that. Nice video.

I personally have 4 of my boys in a double critter nation. I also have 10 girls in a double critter nation, 2 of them my sister needed me to care for and their cage was far too small. She wants them back, but we won't let her until she can meet my minimum requirement. Their previous cage was a hamster cage from walmart with teeny tiny dimensions. Then I spent $60 to get her a bigger cage and a hammock so they could actually move around. The cage I got her was still a temporary cage, and although great for that purpose, is horrible for long term. They had nowbere to climb, no foraging, and only hanging toys. Now they're happy and no longer have squabbles. I have seriously got to do a cage tour, since right after one of my last rat videos I moved my rats into the double critter nations.

Do you have any other recommendations for litter? Back2Nature isn’t available in my area unfortunately

Hey Emi, what are your personal favorite cheap scatter gaurds? I have *one* rat that scatters and I find myself sweeping multiple times around the cage. It's exhausting! 😆😆

Hello! I am not Emi, but, she uses sheets of perspex for her bedding and, this will help with not have bedding on the ground and food too! I think that will save so much energy.

im a little confused about the no tank comment, there seems to be a large tank behind you and you have exo terraniums for your mice in more recent videos, are these temporary enclosure you are just using, or are reptile terraniums good for mice, because i like the glass look and was inspired by your 'tank style' exoterranium tanks

Not me letting them live on a bed when they're recovering! Supervision of course, and knowing their temperaments on "are they jumpers", but I don't want them to climb cages! My boys loved it when recovering from their neuter.

I have a question: Is it ok to use a transport cage for Birds as the hospital cage ? It looks almost like the ones you showed, just a bit taller and with no platforms in it. But you could put some in if you needed to.

As long as it’s not too tall it should be fine, for a hospital cage you don’t want them climbing too much if they’ve just had surgery etc 😊

I had 7 female rats, and yes my female rats loved the wheel, only two of my female rats didn't want anything to do with the wheel, and one of them still went on the wheel to bother the younger females and let them spin her.

How do you make the base on a cage deeper? do you like make a forcefield kind of thing and fill it with bedding so they can burrow?

thank you for this, I got a rat for my snake but my snake ended up in shed and I’m trying to keep the rat alive and I’m just way to attached to it. I have no clue what to do other then give it a little home, I know they can’t be housed alone but I have no other choice since my parents wont let me get another one. (I will be trying to feed my snake mice for now on 😭😭)

If you’re unable to provide the rat with what they need unfortunately it’s best to either return it or rehome it to someone who can provide it with company and an appropriate enclosure 😊
