  • I love this cage, and the rats! I wish I could have that many rats. Right now I only have one. Her sister just died:(

  • No doors?!?!?!?!  Cool :)

  • thank you for sharing this, I miss my rats.One of them dyed from cancer before I settled in England.I was supposed to have the two other here with me , but one more dyied two weeks before my boyfriend could bring them to me and I decided finally the younger one should stay in France because He will live with 3 people (and with its daddy, my boyfriend) to take care of it instead of only me here, without other rats.

  • .... Wait where are the doors

  • @Lyhraify I don't know if she never has doors on hers, but the FN and CN are made so that you can take the doors off easily without taking apart the cage. :)

  • How did you do this?! I have seen the double wide FN142's but they are only sold in Europe. I would love to do this for my girls they would freak.

  • That's amazing! How did you get the cages to hold together? I think I could do this for my eight boys if you could get back with me. Thanks! :3

  • @TenaciousBrii I took the FN off their stand so I could use the side bars in place of where the side panels went on the FN. So instead of the side panels, I used the small bars in order to insert the screws. I don't know if this can be done with the new FNs because they are no longer set up with screws. I know a few people who removed the bars with a heavy duty wire cutter. Then you zip tie the whole thing together.

  • Beautiful cage... Must be fun to clean. :) If you ever wanted to expand it you could probably just buy two add on units and make it even bigger ! Very nice though.

  • I absolutely adore your rat home! I wish I had that kind of money to spend on my pet rats.

  • Do you have problems with the urine marking from the males?

  • great pet owner :) everyone is happy and calm and you can tell they love their environment. 

  • Looks like fun :D

  • that cage looks hell to clean with the fleese...

  • Do they not all mate and have loads of babies, how do you stop that from happening ?x

  • @YesitsJack All my females are spayed.

  • Woo really cool cage!

  • :O:O:O paradise

  • what cage is that and how much r they i have 2 rats and i try to give them a huge home by the way jorats you inspired me to get me my rats

  • @AreYouBoredShow That cage is two ferret nations put together.

  • what cage is that

  • thanks ;) btw, i showed my lil brother ur videos and i was trying to name all 21 of ur rats and i would only name 11 lmao wats there names

  • i only have 2 rats and there babies :)

    i got them a week agao and i can only get a small tank for now :/

    but i ordered a bigger cage for them online and i want to hav some toys and hammocks in it. how much should i have? (hammocks) if i hav 2 rats. only one or 2 right

  • @rupideribith You'll probably change things around as you get to know your babies. I would have a hammock and hanging basket and other toys to start.

  • Guys i've seen her videos. She takes care of them AMAZINGLY.

  • THATS AMAZING! i only have one rat but would love her to have something great like this. She is super active how did you make this? Her cage is pretty big but she does not seem happy

  • @iloveyoulord4ever777 She needs a friend. Rats should have a rat buddy. They shouldn't live on JUST human attention though it IS important too.

  • that's amazing!

    

  • awwwwww its sooo cuteee

  • 21 rats thats crazy how do you give 21 rat attention no one should have that many rats it unfair for them

    .

  • @dede07gee they give attention to eachother o_0 lol

  • @Capinyx ...pets need human attention thats why there pets , whats the point in having them as pets if you cant give them attention ...ask any one if they think its right to own 21 rats and they will tell you its not fair plus i think your cage is too small for 21 rats ,rats need alot of space at least 1 square foot per rat ...and i understand that most are reascues and they most likely would be dead but dont you think u went i bit over bord ...i think u have a bit of an animal hording problem.

  • @dede07gee, Uhhh... No. She gives them attention, she's an AMAZING rat owner, You can have as many animals that you want if you take care of them right and give them enough room, The cage is big enough for them all. And rats need atleast 2 CUBIC feet each ONLY if they're agressive towards other rats.Rats live with their familys of like 20 in 4 foot deep tunnels in the wild.. so yeah, this cage is HUGE. She saves many lives, so saving lifes are never a bit overboard. Its not hoarding, its saving.

  • @wendyXpeggyXpancho thats your opinon ...i still say its not fair for them it like some one rescueing 21 dogs or any animal keeping them in a small space and not giving them much attention and saying its ok because they would have been dead if she wouldent have rescued them ...also your forgetting that in the wild they live in small tunnels BUT they also have the option to leave if they like and in the end they have all the space in the world because its the wild .

  • @dede07gee, No its the truth. Its not a small space!!!! Rats live together in the wild!!! This is as big as it should be!!! She lets them run around that room for more than an hour a day PLUS she plays with them. Yeah, if they left they'd be dead!!! Just be quite because you have no idea about what you're talking about. I bet you don't even own rats. 

  • @dede07gee FYI and FN 142 holds up to 12 rats, so she has two of them hooked together side by side that would be room enough for 24. And obviously from the videos they all get plenty of free range time :)

  • @dede07gee All my rats are rescues. If I didn't take them in, most of them would be dead. So...no, it's not unfair to them. They are happy stable rats in a loving home with lots of buddies.

  • @jorats very happy fat rats :)

  • wow :)

  • Wow thats ace! I have a liberta explorer rat cage and im wondering because its big, how much money did it cost to collect all of those toys! I would love a rat room for mine but im confined to my bedroom wit my seven because i live at home!!! Theyonly have the bed ! Amazing vid and the music matches

  • what made you buy loads of rats as people say its hard to tame rats are they wrong and and many you got in total

  • I have a lot of love and respect for people that love and care for their rats as much as you do. You have certainly given me more motivation to one day have something this elaborate for my little rattie girls. :)

  • did they pee in the litter tray?

    im getting rats soon and im making a cage and I'm afraid that if I put hardware cloth on the back they will pee on my wall.

    i was thinking of using plexiglass for the back, would that work too?

    please reply, thanks(:

  • @MissMagicalMary It's harder to train your rat to urinate in a litter tray but it's not unheard of. You could use plexiglass for the back only, so the rats have a good air flow through the cage.

  • @jorats

    thank you for the tips(: ive decided to just buy one.

  • rats are such a joy to have <3 i love my baby boys! all of yours look so happy

  • Are They Neutured and Spayed. Cuz in two Months you Cud Get 4000 Babies. lol

  • @hotpink2215 yes they are.

  • @jorats Plz dont tell me you spent money spaying and nueturing 21 rats lol

  • @xKrAzEdShOoTeRx All females are spayed and some of the males are neutered.

  • That is one awesome cage :D I bet your rat's are very happy in there.

    I just hope that I could do such a cage myself, but money is always the problem :(

  • um i've just brung my rats home when can i pat them?

  • Wow how do you put them together?

  • I'm guessing you took off the doors for the video... where are the water bottles?

  • V hahaha i totally agree! Its so rat heaven and that wuld creep me out jist a little bit they're sooo cute!

  • What a fantastic cage and selection of toys! very colourful! gorgeous! :)

  • Is this a special breed of rat that never poops?

    21 rats and not one turd.

  • @kozmon0t I wish! Although, this bunch were very clean when it came for out time. They'd run back in to use their litter pans.

  • your cage is very striking :)

    all i can say is what spoilt ratties :D lol

    love it :)

  • is that the carpet?

  • My Goodness! 21 rats! I'll say thats a paradise for them! Do you rescue them, or just buy them whenever?(:

  • holy crap i respect u for having all those rats i rescued my four from a pet store who feeds them to snakes

  • @RatLover1496 I rescue my rats. I get them from our local SPCA, or shelters or from classifieds.

  • @jorats You must spend more on vets than on food :).

  • @v4mpir33d That's for sure. lol

  • Wonderful Ok I have a slightly smaller rat and a FN cage and on one of the close ups of your cages, it look like they have a tight square grid screen??? Thats what I need , What did you use? I'm worried my FN 1" vertical gaps are perfect for him to escape, I want to make it secure to start with, ? what did you do ?

  • Do u let ir rats roam around anytime they want?

  • What type of cage is this, and did you make all their houses? Where did you get this idea for the cage? Thank you!

  • Where did you get those things in the cage that look like colorful plastic chains of chew toys? I've been looking for stuff like that- my cage could use some decor. :)

  • @animaluv12 I get most of my things at the dollar store. Baby section.

  • @jorats Thanks! (Isn't it ironic that pet stores don't have this stuff?) =^._.^=

  • well that's a great cage :D

  • Very nice cage and rats =)

  • One of the best setups I have ever seen. Period.

    Where did you get that carpet tower with all the holes? I have been searching for one of those!

  • This is absoluetly amazing! You're a really chill guy for doing this for the rats.

  • What a wonderful cage(:

    They are all so cute,

    I used to have a couple big cages,

    full of rats, but as time went by they disappeared one by one,

    and as of now I have only two.

    But I just moved into my basement, and there is an empty room next to mine,

    so I will be rescuing rats again; only I will have much more

    this time, with all the extra room :D

  • FN? what are those.. i am only asking cause i need to build a better cage for my 16 pet rats .. well ok.. 3 boys and 7 girls and theothers are in there owns cages.. due to the fact that some dont get along with each other. and one is ill. gotta make sure she is eating and drinking, Right now my rats are in a Book shelf cage and i would like to make them sometthing that is easier for me to clean and fun for them..

  • @Sneezer1217

    FN stands for ferret Nation, I have my ferrets in one, and

    they are really great cages, they are very sturdy and hold up so well.(:

  • i want a rat but my mom says there gross and ugly and wont let me get one : (

  • realy nice cage the rats must love it!! :)

  • don't they make a lot of mess?

    cause I have got only 2 rats

    and they make a lot of mess!

    love your cage bye

  • Don't you think that the peeing from so many rats would make their little house smeel bad or to they go to the closest litter tray?

  • *smell

  • hmmm by the looks of this video i declare this is mine!!!

  • I absolutely love this! What a wonderful environment for your ratties!

  • holy crap 21 rats! can you tell them apart easily?

  • i really like how u take good care of ur rats :D

    but i as wondering what is the best toy for them?

    plus i have 2 rat Pixel and Twilight

  • i just took a closer look at mine and saw how you did it. but you must have to leave the wheels off. that might be a deal breaker for me. thanks anywas and how many do you have?

  • very nice. i have two critter nations too but i had to stack 3 high and use one for the boys. how do you have it so they can go from one side to the other? i mean without the walls how would you put the doors back on. and i see you have the spot for the doors to go back on and close if you wanted. how many do you have and are they all girls or boys? i have 3 boys and 16 girls. i dont breed them though i just take them in.

  • @TheCivicguyd16 Kudos to you for rescuing rats. With the CN, it's very easy to not put the sides on. The doors go on with the front of the cage, simply leave out one side and tie wrap it to the other cage. If you have FNs then it's way harder to attach together.

  • Your cage is rockin !! Gave me lots of great Idea's for my ferret cage !! Thanks for sharing suck an awesome set up !!

  • sooo cool love your cage gave me some good ideas thank you

  • how many rats do u have ? i have 4.

  • Hey um r u allowed to have so many rats and also where did u get all of the little toys and houses from??

  • btw how and earth do you keep them clean properly with all that faberic !

  • @sammars93

    She probably uses litter trays where the rats go to the toilet. Rats can be trained to do this like a cat uses a litter tray. :)

  • Awesome set up!

  • a like the video !! a like rat

  • OMG!!! Fantastic, definitely the best cage setup i`ve ever seen, i`m working towards something like this myself. love it, love it, love it!!!

  • How did you connect them together?? I want to do that for my chinchillas. Did you just take the shorter side out on the connecting side?? How did you keep the 2 cages together though?

  • im just rubbish at arranging my rats cage, i wish mine looked as intersting as yours, i have the ferplast jenny cage, and never have any idea how to fill up the empty spaces (:

  • awsum!!!

  • Aww... that's so cute! How do you remember all of their names?

  • @xEuphoricDysphoriaX that's like asking a mother how she remembers her childrens names....

  • cute

  • Awesome cage setup! I love rats, It seems like I had three only the other day and now I have eight. They all live in spacious cages from ferret nation and others with wheels, boxes, buts, tubes, and hammocks. But it's still not as extravagant as this.

  • Beautiful! I can't wait to make something like it.

  • This is the best cage and environment for rats I have ever seen! Beautiful, how they interact, they all look so happy! They are free! Aww I wish I could do that to mine..maybe someday! :)

  • wow 21 rats... glad to see someone who doesnt hate rats n call em vermins! BTW i love ratties too i just got a baby one yesterday1

  • @falk0ny Rats need at least one friend to live with them, they tend to become depressed when they are alone, so you know.

    :}

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie yeah i used to have four of them. Tiffany-Baby-Bandit and buddy cute little suckers

  • @falk0ny Just checkin' :]

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie lol okay

  • I always like to see cages that is enjoyable for small pets

  • great cages i hve 1 rat 20 mice

  • FNs are Ferret Nations, the same as a Rat Nation just bigger. They're cages for these little animals :) planning on getting some?

  • Tell me If I get a rat nation and get two of them would it still do as good?

  • A Critter Nation is an excellent cage, even for two rats.

  • i am getting 4 rats for xmas i cannit wait do they bite cause i am a bit screamish with pain !??????

  • Are they babies? It is not common for a rat to bite. But babies might nip only because they are playing. They are easily taught not to do this though.

  • To Divagirl810, I have only had 1 rat ever bite me and that's because my "friend" didn't take care of her. She barely ever had a clean cage and wasn't held at all. I got her for 2 months and she was learning but my friend took her back and eventually she died from mites. But I've had 12 rats and none of them ever bite me.

  • how much does it cost for you to get them spayed/neutered?? i didnt even kno you can do that to rats!

  • It's different everywhere. But in my neck of the woods it's quite expensive. A spay is $230 and a neuter is $180

  • Also where did you get your cage?

  • what is the cage made out of? are they like storage shelfs because they have no doors. i really want to make a rat room with a cage such as urs! also what material's do u use for the wiring on the floors of the cage. plz reply in message/email to my profile. also how did u put laters through each wire box?

  • Those cages are two FNs attached together. There are doors, I took them off for the video.

  • what are FNs?

  • my mom wouldnt let me get rats so i jut got 2 mice :P not as smart but still cute XD

  • I love this cage so much! My three boys would be like, 'O. M. F. G.' Lol. Can you give it to mee?? :D

  • lol... it now resides at my mom's for her ratties. I got two Critter Nations for mine. ;)

  • O_o I still want it! I have a need to fulfill!

  • 21 rats....o____o wow. :)

  • Has to be the best cage on utube? Ive looked at at least 90% of rat videos and havent seen one better.

  • this video made me smile, ur rats are so sweet x

  • i envy your setup... i truly do. tell me, it is a difficult procedure to clean it? that looks like such a blast. rats are so fabulous... i have a couple really short vids of my kids if you wanna see.

  • That cage wasn't too hard to clean. I do daily wipe ups, takes about 15 minutes and each week it gets scrubbed down, takes about 2 hours.

  • how do you clean that cage and keep track of them all lol

  • my jaw dropped when i saw how big it was next to the rats

  • do you mix the boys and girls together or do you have them in different cages????

  • All our females are spayed so they can safely live with the boys.

  • i was told by my vet that they won't neuter or spey rats... id love a boy to go with my girlie sierra (her sister charlie died last month) but i dont want babies!!! are there certain vets that will do it?

  • You'll need to find an exotic vet.

  • why do you get the females spayed as opposed to neutering of the males? i heard that spaying is a more risky and difficult surgical procedure... true?

  • Females are prone to developing benign mammary tumours and a spay reduces that from 95% to 5%.

  • oh yeah DUH... i forgot about thtat. that's aweosme. your rats all look so healthy and happy.

  • When I get my two rats soon, i'm getting them spayed for my birthday, and I don't get anything for Christmas because of it. It's expennnnsive where I am! xD

  • @CatMaster87932 It really is expensive but what a wonderful gift for your rats. Kudos to you!!

  • @jorats Where do you find someone to spay and neuter rats? I've never done it, just kept the two sets in two different cages.

  • @vtbrigeywidgey Call around for exotic vets. Make sure they have experience or are willing to learn.

  • Your cage is awesome! My cage is about that size. Do you look in the cat section for the toys? I gave my pet rat some toys from the bird isle to chew on. It's funny how much they play. I had no idea. Mine plays with you and runs in circles..she is so cute. We put t-shirts and socks in the cage and she sleeps in them:)

  • woow youre cage is soooo amazing i love people who love animals!!!

    Maybe Im gonna have rats too!!

    I alraedy have the cage

  • Hi,The cage is truely amazing..I have one ferret nation cage,it looks like you have two put together..Where did you get all the supplies in the inside of the cage cuz i have 2 ferrets and I want their cage to be this amazing

  • I collected a few things along the years. Mostly the dollar store, some pet stores online too. My sister sews all my hammocks and cubes.

  • They have a happy home!

  • Damn nice :) <3 rats

  • WOW! Are they spoiled or what? I would love to have a rat kingdom like that! I see they seem to like the cat apartment. I might have to get something like that for my rat, Pearl!

  • that looks soooooooooooooooooooooo fun lol.

    makes me wnar jump inside LOL

  • You take excellent care of your rats, so I was wondering if you could give me a full rat care lesson! I would appreciate the help because I have no idea how to take care of mine. AnimalLoverAubree@gmail

  • i wish i could have that many rats =[ i have 6. but im getting a much bigger cage so my parents might let me get some more ;)

  • Do all of them return to their cage on their own at the end of playtime, or do you have to gather all of them up at the end?

  • After their out time, they all get their veggies and they love their veggies so all I have to do is say VEGGIES! and they all run home.

  • Wow! They must be some happy rats right there :D

  • 21 rats oh i have just 4 and they make many work

  • how do you keep it so beautifully clean??? It looks amazing! Check out my channel i have rats too!

  • how do you keep this cage clean?

  • wow!

    im going tommorow buy me my first 2 rats, im so nervous & happy xD

  • omg :D thats a lot of rats :D i have two rats, wow if they could have this cage...WOW :D

  • wow you have a lot of rats; do you have a rescue?

  • I don't run a rescue but I take in only rescues.

  • Do you remember all their names with no trouble?

  • Most of the time. lol

  • Wow! That is one amazing cage! Its more like a rat village than a cage though :)

  • Ahaha.. spoiled little guys.
