  • Hey guys, I'm officially back. Today I'll be sharing a cage tour of my triple triple Critter Nation. Please excuse any rustiness on my behalf, it's been a while since I've filmed and edited a video. Really excited to be back on TH-cam again. This cage houses nine rats, in 126 cubic feet. The enclosure is 9' long, 2' deep, and 7' tall. This does not include the stand/wheels, as I removed them. (Since I know I'm going to get this question a lot, I am 5' 3", and use a step ladder to clean this cage!)

    lovely cage-setup. i had different cages for my about 20 rats at one time. But i also had transformed half my house into a free-roaming place, this until i got evicted and the fun ended for all of us. I liked to put a lot of three-branches and different plants in the cages . At times it would look like small jungles, but the rats would chew up the plants quikly. Dried up plants and leaves i would use again for covering the bottom-floors of the cages, somewhat like straw. I would all mix it with paper and strawdust or woodchips. Wich i would also cut myself from threebranches. Especially rotten wood would provide perficht woodchips.

Amazing work, I love seeing people take good care of their pets especially the pets that are usually neglected due to false information spread by mostly pet stores.

    See, the 15 units total like that, of Critter Nation cages... Is what I dream of accomplishing for my two ferrets! And then the room it is placed in, would also be their very own "Bedroom" on top of that! And that's not even counting the Free Roam time I would give them outside of their bedroom... But I am just like you! Even if two ferrets can live in just ONE double-story unit, I want them "To Thrive, Not Just Survive"... I live to spoil my fur-babies & would have no issues at all with creating a super enriching "Ferret Zone with a Ferret Mansion" for the two of them!
    I love this! Awesome video! Very adorable rats!

    WOW! Soon, hopefully before the end of the year, I am going to hopefully have my own apartment and I'm debating what critters I want to take with me. I've had rats in the past and loved them but I just didn't have the space for a proper cage. Seeing this just makes me want to fully invest in keeping rats. I loooove this set up and I already feel like I'm going to binge any of your rat videos lol.

Seeing your cage help me visualise what I can do with that much space
