LOL, funny how the feeder rats are kept totally different then the pet groups want. Every single rat I have is in a plastic tub with screen top and are doing just fine. They only get taken out for one of a few reasons.......

1) weekly cleaning and replacement of substrate.
2) moving a female into a males tub for impregnation.
3) moving a female to a isolation tub for birthing of litter.
4) moving weaned babies to growout rack
5) removing animals (various sizes) to be euthanized and fed to snakes
