    Hi, everyone

    So, My name is snow and I own 65 rats. It's a hassle but I love them. I have both male and female rats.

    Hello! Help with cages please

    What cages would you recommend for a first time rat owner with two rats? I’m not sure which one would be best, so I thought it’d be good to ask someone here :). Also, do you happen to have any spare cages that you’re not using? If not, that’s perfectly fine, just thought I’d ask that as well 😅
