As a rat owner I love seeing others setups. I am always looking for new ideas for my rats cage becuase is nice to give them new things to explore and interact with. I would love to see a series with these videos. Also great to hear advice on cages so that others rats have the best of life. 😁🐀🐾

I love that bioactive terrarium oh my gosh! I never knew you could do that with rats

Tip for anyone and rat cages, we all know running balls are horrible for them, i got two large ones at my shelter for free, i took off the two lids on each and i zip tie one open end to a wall of the cage and fill it with fleece for a nice large bed thats easy to get in and out plus provides some shelter to make them comfortable

I found that my rats got stressed out if there was too much stuff in their cage that they had to climb over. Generally they loved just being able to run around inside their cage without any real obstacles. They weren't much for climbing either. They'd happily jump up on to stuff but it was rare to see them climbing. After a while I stopped giving them climbing toys as they never made use of them. They loved foraging so much though! It got to the point where I'd just start putting treats in slightly hard to reach areas around my flat. It was adorable seeing the pride on their little faces as they waddled on back to their cage, head held high, with a big treat in their mouths. I always thought it was so precious that they insisted on eating treats on the top floor of their cage by the food dish in what they had designated a box for eating in. I miss those guys so much

You should definitely turn this into a series. It's a great way for us all to connect, and to share information and ideas about making our pets lives better

We call it a sofa too. Sofa and couch are used interchangeably all over the USA as far as I know. The term couch is used probably more than sofa

Omg 12:59 is my cage!! Thank you so much for reacting to it! It means so much❤️ Edit: just ordered another dcn :) Ps: you should do a video reacting to free range areas. I'd love to show you mine 😊💞

i'd also say to those who just have one water bottle in their cage: get another one! water bottles fail pretty often sadly and you wouldn't want your rats to be stuck without a water source

omg the second cage, I love that color scheme! It’s so adorable 😍

This video is so wholesome, this little community we’ve built feels so kind, encouraging, and educational and we have it all thanks to Emi💗

Oh my gosh I was the first cage. Thank you so much for reviewing it! I’ve since ordered a Sputnik which is funny that you mentioned it. I will consider getting a deep pan to put loose bedding in also! Much love 💖💖💖

Love your videos! I'm a retired teacher in a small flat so not very good for cats and dogs. It's amazing how much my rats give me the same companionship. I bought two common female rats and watch your videos daily.

oh my GOSH someone named their rats after Moomins my HEART-

Please do a part 2 and 3! So much amazing information thats really helpful for owners or people looking to get small animals. Great video xx

I miss putting the cage together so much. But I miss my boys even more😢

We actually do use the word sofa over here across the pond. Interchangeably with couch; although I've noticed the nicer it is, the more likely it is to be referred to as a sofa. A worn out old thing is always a couch.

Hi Emiology, I'm paying for everything when it come to my three energetic baby girls so handmade accessories are the way falward for me. I would absolutely love to see you make a vedio on diy cage accessories since I would personally like that and would find it very fun to watch a recreate! Xxx

Drinking game: Take a shot every time she says good

I really love your eyeglasses, they look very pretty on you!

This is a really nice idea and a great source of inspiration to decorate your own cage. I would really love to see more :D

I find it so cool that your so immersed in your subscribers items as well and that your trying to help them! That’s not common form what I’ve seen! Your helping so many, thank you so much! We love you❤️ Ps: I find it funny how on all of your videos I give you an emotional, encouraging speech!🤣🤣

Do another! It's great inspiration for planning my own cage. And seeing everyone's rats is super cute too!

idk why i’m watching these videos bc i don’t have a rat and i’m not planning to get one but these videos are just so adorable!!

I use couch and sofa interchangeably, and now I can't tell if all Aussies do that, or if they just think I'm weird and it was due to my partially British upbringing.

This is such a cute video idea! Thanks for your content - you’ve been really, really helpful for me as a first-time rat owner in the past couple months. ❤️

Oh yes please make more parts to this i love seeing other peoples cages! So great to get new ideas 💕

Hi Emi, I love your videos, thank you for making them and opening peoples eyes to how wonderful rats and mice can be!

Loved spudnik pods for my rats too, but it got to the point where I'd just place them on floor, high up they'll all get in an clip bits would come loose an they would fall but they are brilliant things an looked cute

Haha my name is Freya and I also have that first cage. Nice one name buddy

Thank you! My 3 mice have been fighting lately and I wasnt sure what items to put in their cage to help with it, your other video talking about other peoples cages gave me a lot of good ideas! Cant wait to get some more stuff my my little rattys

First cage review has the same cage as me! I do love it, but can't wait to switch it to a cage where the doors fully open one side of the cage.

I’ve done mini piñatas for my rescue rats in the past; I used toilet paper rolls (cut into smaller sections), filled it with goodies, and then wrapped it up into some gift wrapping paper. I then hid those throughout the cage, some I tied to the cage, they went nuts for these x).

definitely do a part 2! the bioactive is incredible!

This is absolutely insane!!! This is by far my favourite video 🤟🤟🤟10000% subbing

I know it took you forever to film this, but I did really love it! My cage is almost finished and I would love to send in my cage next time you make one of these! Also can’t wait to so the mice one, don’t plan on getting mice any time soon but would still love to get ideas for the future.

Casually rewatching the series cause it's really calming

I love your advice. Great video ❤️🐁

That was great, looking forward to another one

As a rat owner, I see in your videos there are tons of inspiration and now I have asked for all rat stuff for my birthday, not only that you are amazing emiology thanks

I'm planning on getting some rats. I really enjoy watching your channel and it's very informative. Keep up the great work!

Yay I’ve been looking forward to this video! 💕

Ugh I miss having rats so much. Only a year left and I'll be out on my own forming my own rat colonies lmao (I'm 17 my parents made me get rid of my 5 rats almost a year ago but they were my absolute pride and joy) still have my critter nation and everything

please do a part 2!!! I live these videos :)

Very good vid, I'm trying to get ideas for my boy's cage. This is really helpful.

Everyone’s looks amazing! I hope a lot of rat or alike owners get inspired from this video ❤️

I'd love to see a part two (or three)!

I just woke up and this was the first video i clicked on, she flamed me for that sofa comment 😂. Thank you for starting my day emiology.

This is super helpful, thanks

Currently binge watching all of the video cages to get ideas for my cages.

I love ur channel! You deserve more subscribers! 🐭🐀🧀🙂

It would be great to have the names of the different cages written down! in the description. Thanks for the hammock links. Also, great video! Although I have mice, not rats, it is useful anyway. I've also seen some of your mouse videos, and especially the one on health was extremely helpful

Me and my two rats love watching you!!

I got 2 rats 2 days ago and this channel has been like my rat Bible

Love those log hides Meghan(?) had in the video! I use them for my hedgehogs

PLS MAKE THIS A SERIES!

This was a great video because I am doing research on rats 🐀 so very helpful

Loved this video💞 I've been wanting to get rats forever now but can't get them in my current life situation. I'm using this time to educate myself on rats so they can get the best rat life possible once I get them 💙

I'm on the process of introducing a third rat, and redoing my cage setup. I ordered a foraging wheel and a sputnik because your boys seem to love them. I have made forage toys out of paper tubes and such, but my girls shred everything. I really want to get some pvc pipes to make a tunnel system in the cage as well, along with the ledges and hammocks I usually have.

I love my rats sm thank u for making this

I love your channel!

Such great houses. Got some awesome ideas for my ratties. They just got brand new small 🐩 plush beds for a more cozy cuddle spot

im setting up a cage for some rats ill get in summer and this came in super useful ! thank u

I love your video's! Most ratubers provide too much wrong information. ❤️❤️❤️ When i was watching i wanted to tip as well :) About the shelves i think they are great because they add more running space. Many rats will pee on a rock which you can place in the poop corner for example. Of course you have to Cook it first before using. Also these shelves are great for elder rats. I experienced with bird cages that the bottom is often very small. Wild rats arent really climbers but they dig more or find a space they can build a nest. They love ground space, also for elder rats that is great but baby rats as well.

This should be a series!

Omg my cage made it! Thank you for the feedback!💗

These videos help so much 👍

8:35 that rat is sooo cuteeee

I just got 2 new baby girls. I already have the cage set up, but this video is really great for inspiration!!

I recently got two sweet rats the past two weeks, they are already 7 months old and are rescues, they were under poor conditions with their past owner and since I have gotten them I have spoiled them to no end! I would love to show the new cage! I wish I had a before of their cage but I could not bare to let them stay in their old cage any longer than they already had to, it was horrible. Not cleaned for months, they had not been fed for days, and the little bedding they were given was wood shavings. They have a much better cage now!

I have a question..I recently rescued two Baby mice and I'm having trouble trying to find a suitable cage that has small enough bars where they wont escape through. As they are very tiny

I got pet rats a few days ago and your videos are good help

That dig box thing was awesome! Wonder if it would work with mice

I brought my first two ratties home today! They're still pretty shy, and haven't explored much of their cage (they've mostly been hiding in a little cardboard house I made at the bottom) and I'm trying to take my time with them, and let them adjust before I interact with them too much, but I've definitely found myself coming back to the cage and looking in at them a lot

I think a part 2 or 3 would be really cool! I have a mixed age group with two elderly rats, a 1 year old, and 3 four month old rats. I try to have my cage work for all 6 of them but advice would always be welcome!

I look so much forward to the mouse version!

I taught my boys to clean their cage somehow 😅 when I scatter food or hand them pieces one by one they take it and put it in their food bowl

8:35 we ain’t gonna talk about how that rat really do love the mama! Ahaha Awh

I love seeing rat cages!

9:20 yeah I have that log hide for my syrian hamster and I've never seen anyone besides me that has one

I looove seeing people's cages so I am down for more of these videos. I am super excited for the mouse version. What platform do you usually ask for submissions on - just so I don't miss it?

Nice video :)

great video

I want a rat so much and this helped me thank you!

Omg 6th comment! Yayyy! I love your videos! Keep working hard

I’m getting my second rats I’ve had to replace all the old stuff and so far the setup is pretty basic with some foraging toys bedding hammocks bowl water bottle food I hope this is ok for the first month while I accumulate some more stuff for them

Also my sisters friend has 3 rats and I hold them whenever I go over and she lets me give them treats and more and do tricks :3

what type of soil should you put in a digbox? and also for foraging do you just scatter their normal food , in the soil? im getting rats in a couple of weeks and needing to learn as much as possible so i can be the best rat mum!!

I want a part two😖😩

You inspired me to get 2 little ratties they are so cute they are called rocco and theo. At first I thought pet rats were disgusting but after watching ur videos and more on yt I found out pet rats are lovely and now I love my ratties and your videos ❤️❤️💕💕

I am getting rats next year, I have researched them quite a bit to try to be the best owner possible. I’m just wondering if you’re able to use fleece as bedding as long as I’m washing it twice a week? I know they love to dig so I would add a dig tub. Is that ok?

I am thinking of knitting some baskets and hammocks, is there any type of yarn that might be unsafe for them?

My sister and I are getting two more rats! They are about seven weeks old and our other rats are about a year and a half!🙂 Our rats we have now are grey and white (Harper), and black and white (Rylee)! The baby’s we are getting are both agouti! And if they don’t have names we are naming then Max and El after stranger things!

Part 2 please!!!

It's so cool to see someone using a bioactive digbox in their rat cage! I'm wanting to do the same thing for my mice, but I don't know what live plants to get that would be safe and non-toxic for them to nibble on. Do you have any suggestions?

I have three boys, got em from a bad CL situation and the person said they came with a big cage. So I was like okay cool I can keep them in there until I get a better one. She gave me the Kaytee Multi-Level Habitat, way way way TOOO SMALL for three adult males. And no toys. Dw I’ve upgraded to Prevue Hendryx Black Feisty Ferret Cage. They’re much happier oh and they have toys and hides and hammocks now. Poor boys. She also said they weren’t friendly so she never held them. They’re the sweetest rats I’ve ever had, they love free roaming and cuddling. They were just neglected with her.

Where should we email you to be in on of the videos? I need some advice on how to improve my cage

Omg 3:58 your grey rat looks identical to my rat biscuit

I'm planning on getting my rats as soon as my room is clean and I have a place to put their things. I'm getting 2 5 week old males from a breeder. I'm so excited to get my babies!!!

Just a question, why do rats like peeing on the plastic shelves?

Rat cage recommendations please
