Hello,
I am fostering two small female rats who were dumped outside in Harrisburg, PA in October. There has been a lot of news coverage about the release of hundreds of fancy pet rats. They both were pregnant and had litters. I have a single level Critter Nation I bought to house the two mothers and pups. The pups are now 21 days old and very small. Is the 1/2“ spacing on the Critter Nation small enough to contain the very active babies? The babies are about 3” in length at the moment and I do not want them to escape the cage as they could get hurt. Please help either settle my mind or provide advice. The fosters who are helping with the Harrisburg Rat Rescue are all new to rats and looking forward to your expertise. All advice is appreciated regarding the cage and baby rat raising advice as research has had conflicting results regarding aquariums, when to separate males from the litter, etc. Thank you in advance for your help!
