>>I would like to know more about your rat cage set up. In your above post you gave only two out of three cage dimensions, what is the third dimension?

>>How much cubic space do you allow per rat? I am confused on that issue, since I read so many conflicting points of view.

>>I need to rework my cage set up, and restart with a new small rat colony. I only have two snakes to feed, but the nearest source for rodents is over 130 miles away.

Third dimension on the rat cages is 18...they live in condos. I put a wheel in when I can. I do use a couple 20long tanks for grow outs. Mice are in deep tubs too....since I hate the whole "lets jump out while she is cleaning" thing..so they are probably a foot deep. 56 qt or something sterlite Walmart specials. I don't know for cubic feet per rodent since pet people will fight one thing and labs habitually use another. Google it. I had a site once but have changed systems and am starting from scratch. This is NOT a great set up for most neat, clean, pro looking areas.....Not my image. But hey, my rodents make enough to feet my herps, cover their own costs and often buy parrot foods too. So I don't complain.
