38"L x 23"D x 20"H cage with 1/2" spacing!

[kscanuck785]

I don't think I've come across this cage before, anyone familiar with it?
It's on the pricey side but free shipping and I think it'd be a good floor size for older rats

anyways, just thought I'd share for people on the look out for cages

Needs some levels but that could be done easily with a few hammocks... I like the floor space and the fact that its off the ground to make it easier to clean and interact with your rats. The cage calculator says its good for five rats, but if you have adult boys I would only put four max.

Nice find! :thumbup:

That is definitely a good size. You can always add levels yourself.

I found their website:

nice layouts IMO

 

[jorats]

Ooh very nice.

 

[kscanuck785]

I like that it is powder coated too, rat appropriate spacing and on wheels

I think with some toys, hide outs and hammocks, it would totally work

and almost forgot...it has a large door!!!!!! YAY!!

 

[kscanuck785]

well...look what else I found...
VERY pricey, at least on this listing but it's nice!!

Do they have wire bottoms?

 

I think "pull out grate" means wire flooring.

I assume the cage does with ^ ...
I think most ppl would cover them anyways

It's not bad but for the price I would opt for a CN.

I hear you, but what if you don't need a monster cage ?!
in my case, I only keep 2 rats at the office, a CN would be totally overkill and way too big.

agreed that a single FN/CN might work just fine in that case

 

[smilez_n_hugs]

A single CN measures 36" x 24" so not bigger than that cage a little taller but that's all.

 

[kscanuck785]

I think I was attracted to the height of it because of the legs? like it's not that close to the floor? :thumbup:

 

[smilez_n_hugs]

I'm not sure how tall the stand is for that cage but a single CN does comes with a stand as well.

 

[kscanuck785]

they probably come up to a similar height overall, but the inside of this one is not as tall.
I think the single CN is like 34" and this one is 20" for the inside height.
Like I said in the original post, I really thought it would work great for older rats who do not climb or need levels but rather like a simple 1 level foot print, without a tall plastic pan
