There is a vast number of homes available for pets of all shapes and sizes. The keeping and breeding of pet rats is gradually increasing year on year throughout the UK. These small loving animals are probably not everyone’s choice of pet, but these furry creatures can provide great satisfaction and enjoyment for their owners. They are easy to train, no fuss to keep (they can take care of themselves and are generally kept in groups of more than two) and are generally cheap to look after.

One of the main expenses for a rat lover is the cost of housing. Whether this is for one pet rat or a rabble, there are a number of questions the owner has to answer, or at least consider. Contemplating these initially will save the owner both time and money. Are they going to keep one, two, multiples or even breed rats? Will the rats need to be moved on a regular basis? Will they be kept indoors or in some form of external shelter. As the cost of a rat cage can vary from as little as £30 up to a staggering £300 or £400 this decision if incorrect can be a costly one.

Once the decisions have been made the owner will need to calculate the size of cage they need for the number of rats they wish to keep. These helpful calculators can be found throughout the internet on various rat enthusiast websites. A simple search for “rat calculator” on any search engine will throw up a number of suitable results.

The remaining decisions can then be checked against the types of cages on the market..Some of the smaller ones such as the Jenny Cage, The Tom cage and the Freddy Cage are perfect for people wishing to house a small number of rats. These cages generally come with a small entrance door and are rather light. They also come with a range of standard accessories that are perfect for a starter cage. The bars are closer together on these cages as they have been designed specifically for pet rats.

As the number of people breeding rats has increased, the number of rats being housed together has too. This has brought other animal cages, such as chinchilla and ferret cages to the rat market. These larger cages are perfect for housing rats in double figures. They are generally much sturdier as they are built for their larger and stronger cousins. They also provide far easier access for the owner. They are able to enter the cage for both cleaning and taking out their pets as the doors are far larger than the smaller cages.

Some of the popular cages available are the Multi-Floor Ferret Tower, the Ferplast Ferret Tower the Explorer and the Fop Yole Chrome Cage. All of these cages come with wheels making them very easy to move. They are more suited to younger rats due to the height of the cages. Older rats could have mild hip problems and could succumb to the larger drops or find it more difficult to get to the higher levels.

Before buying make sure that you understand how many rats you want to keep and make sure that they have a suitable sized area to enjoy. Make their lives pleasurable as it is unfair keeping them in cramped conditions. If their lives can be made as enjoyable as possible its sure to make the rat lovers too.
