i discussed this with a few of you over chat once about my cage situation. a while ago i was moving and my cage got destroyed. my cousins ferret had recently past so he let me use his ferret nation for a while, but he's getting another ferret so im gunna have to give it back within a month. so that said, i've had a complicated living situation that past while my apartment building had some major issues that needed to be dealt with blah blah blah so i've pretty much been staying in a hotel the past couple of weeks so i REALLY don't have the money for a new critter nation or fancy cage. i've constantly been combing through kijiji and usedottawa and recently there's been a few of the living world rat cages for cheap... that being said ive herd alot of people say they wouldnt put more than two girls in the cage and people only use it for rescue situations or temporary housing. im asking that because a friend of mine has a 1 year old rat that she regretfully needs to give away and im thinking of taking her on..
so would that cage be big enough for just my two girls? if my rat numbers are only kept at two
AND in the next week or two if i seriously decide to take the girl what is the recommended sizing or cage and what do you guys use for small numbers? i need to find the best for my buck UNTIL i get my barrings together and can get another new critter nation.
ps. im not even sure about getting this girl yet and if i do, keep im mind that i do have a vet and food fund that could support 4 rats even though i dont have money for a cage. i figure vet and food are a little more important than living quarters.
i appreciate all opinions!
