My cage setup

[diggy415]

Here is my little setup out in the shed protected from the elements.

It is too dark for me to see well. Maybe my screen is too dark??

i can see fine. must be your screen. NO WHERE near enough space for your ratties. you need like 4 or 5 times more that space. this saddens me. thats awful. no where for them to hide! no where for them to run and play. like they were snake food or something. my heart stoped when i seen this!!!!

Are those 10Gallon aquariums? ? ?
That is not enough living space for "a" Rat nevermind a couple of them. You'd be better off with rabbit cages or ferret cages, if you cannot aford them there are easy ways to build them cheaply.

I met a lady who built a topper for her 20G tank that houses to Degus, it's great and they have tons of room to climb and jump around, you could always try that idea too.

I wouldn't be able to house animals in a shed here, the weather is either to Cold or too Hot, there's never an imbetween.

Yes, I recommend getting some Martin's Cages (which are relatively inexpensive in relation to the high quality) or a similar cage to it. Also, you should look up a cage calculater. I know a good one on www.ratsrule.com And you should see how many rats you can put in a cage. They really need more room! The above quote sums up my feelings well!

Why are they in a shed? Do you breed them or something? Just wondering ...

[ratty_ratkins]

he breds them for petstores! (he said so himself in another thred) and has the dang nerve to come on here and show us those horrbile living conditions!! OMG

[ratty_ratkins]

diggy can i use your pic to put on my website to show people why they SHOULDNT buy rats from petstores! cuz they come from mostly people like you, but i admit it could had been ALOT worse.

Yes, I was trying to be helpful before, but due to this complete disregard for the intentions of this great forum, and due to a comment I have seen you make on another thread (about a girl with a sick wild rat in which you said "pets are just pets, you can replace them, right?", I am now wondering if you are intentionally trying to aggrevate us! Sorry if this is rude and if the moderator ends up stopping this, but I am a little angry at your insensitivity and thought it was only fair to point this out to you.

Remember to keep it civil, guys. By yelling at this person about his/her pets' living conditions won't help. Making kind and calm suggestions will be more likely to get the point you are trying to get across.
