I have, quite honestly, had the worst luck in finding cages and I'm on a very strict budget at the moment. Since the cage I'm using at the moment doesn't have a secured bottom, I'm desperate to find something I may be able to afford that can comfortably house three to four adult rats.
I originally took in my first rat for a friend of my boyfriends who wasn't aware that he'd have a hard time acclimating his three year old to their new pet. The cage he had purchased was actually a used bird cage which I thought was a horrible idea so I contacted a friend who was able to get me a ferret cage. Only problem was that it came without a bottom so over the last couple of months we've done our best to improvise and, while it works, it's such a pain in the butt to take apart and clean as often as their cage needs cleaning.
I'm a new rat owner with three adult rats who I've fallen in love with. They're my babies.. However, I simply cannot afford a new cage and no one on craigslist seems to be willing to get rid of theirs.
I live in West Michigan. Anyone?
