actually if the cage is that big, then you can probably put a 1.3 in it.

Sapphire, I keep 1.2 in those rat racks, I personally think they're too small for 1.3, but that's just me. Other than that, I love them, and get excellent rat production in them. I'll post some pics as soon as I take a few.

Sapphire, here are a couple pics of my rats racks in use: this one is their configuration:




And lastly, an overhead of the rack with the lid off, for a size comparison. The three rats in here are 500-600g.

well she did it. We had 3 kits left over from feeding them off and such. And she convinced me to keep the 2 males, and I had already planned on keeping atleast 1 female if there were any left....hmph. now we have to go BUY f/t's.......oh well......these ones will be strictly pet.
I told her she could only have them on a few conditions.

Since they will be pets, it is cruel to have just 1, so she would have to have 2...both males (hence me not having any feeders!lol)

We have to get another rubbermaid to put the 1.1 in (soon to be 1.2 once the little female reaches 5 wks she will be sexually mature)

She has to provide proper food (not dog food) and proper bedding (not pine bedding) to them.

and SHE has to clean out the cage!! lol

It was the little hooded one and a white one.

ohh well, she already has a nice fat firm belly.... so more in about 1.5-2wks). And I'm "pretty sure" that the other ones are prego.......one more month without producing and it's to "The Belly" for them.

I keep telling her it's going to be pointless to breed them if we are going to keep them all! lol
Oh well atleast we can socialise these ourselves so we know they won't be bitey.


Edit:

I do like your set up thoug Mykee. It gives me ideas!
