Rat Housing Guidelines

Rats are intelligent, active animals that need spacious cages with vertical space for climbing and exploring. Multi-level wire cages are ideal.

Popular Cage Options:

• Critter Nation (Single): 36"W × 24"D × 39"H - Good for 2-4 rats
• Critter Nation (Double): 36"W × 24"D × 63"H - Great for 4-8 rats
• Martin's Cages R-695: 30"W × 18"D × 24"H - Good for 2-3 rats

What to Include in Your Rat Cage:

• Hammocks: Rats love lounging in hammocks
• Hideouts: Igloos, tubes, boxes for security
• Platforms: Ramps and levels for climbing
• Toys: Chew toys, foraging toys, exercise wheels (12" diameter minimum)
• Litter Box: Rats can be litter trained!
• Food/Water: Heavy ceramic bowls or water bottles

Important Notes:

• Clean cage weekly minimum (spot clean daily)
• Provide at least 1 hour of supervised playtime outside cage daily
• Never use cedar or pine bedding (respiratory issues)
• Rats are crepuscular (most active dawn/dusk)

Remember: Rats are social! Keeping a single rat is like solitary confinement for them. Always keep at least 2 (same gender to avoid breeding).
