Super Pet Deluxe Rat Cage

This rat cage is called Super Pet Deluxe My First Home. It is actually suited to any small animals. It is a great starter home for chinchillas and degus, but hey, we’re here to talk about rats, so how would this cage suit our furry friends?
It is well suited to two rats, but if you have more then a bigger cage would be better. After all our rats love to explore, investigate and run around don’t they? The measurements are 40.5″x18″x32″, so it is not small by any means and if your rats are free range a lot of the time this will be just fine. There is plenty of room to hang a comfy hammock and other toys. There is a deep purple base, which not only looks good (we like purple here), but is also nice and deep to avoid bedding scattering everywhere.
I think for a good sized cage this is good value at around $129.
Now there is something you should be aware of if you are a rat owner (which I guess you are). As you will see from the picture the wire is not as close together as it could be on this cage. Therefore, the cage is not as suited to baby rats. It is amazing the tiny spaces rats can squeeze out of! However for adult rats it will be just fine. It is also really easy to clean out, which is always a good thing, even if you do have your rat litter trained.

i have had this cage before and found it very unsutible for rats. For a start the wire bars are not very strong and easy to bend as i found out when one of my rats escaped! also i found that quite a few bars snapes and broke as the joining of the bars was far from strong! and to concluide i found that some of the plastic coated bars had no wire in them! this cage went straight back to the shop!
My goodness! That doesn’t sound good at all. Thanks for the feedback. I have found a wonderful cage for my two girls. It is 4 stories high and very luxurious. It took a bit of searching though!
2 rats? My goodness, I have six (female) rats and can fit more comfortably in!
The biggest problem I had with this cage is that one day I was lazy and didn’t put the top on properly. The rats managed to get their teeth on the edge of the plastic base and made a huge hole, which I plastered up later.
Lesson is don’t be lazy, and put the dang top on right!
People were worried about the plastic shelves and how the rats will chew them up, but actually I have never had that happen nor do I know anyone that its happened to. This cage shown above is a little different, it has more shelves, which I have been looking for! (and mine is blue and black)
Anywho, great cage. Its too big for pups anyway, you should keep the babies in a hamster cage til they’re big enough to leave =)
Thank you very much for your feedback! I am sure it will be very useful for people considering this home for their ratties.

One thing that seems nice about this cage, is that it has a deep base to prevent bedding from scattering everywhere. My current cage is not that good at keeping the bedding in, so whenever I go to clean my rats’ cage, I also have to pick up extra bedding!
