Finally we got our 3rd Critter Nation in yesterday. This one is for the babies. This cage is for the litters and moms. Once the babies reach 2 1/2 weeks old they will move into the critter nation. They will be housed in the bottom portion of the cage. And once the litter reaches 5 weeks old all of the males who are now sexually mature will move to the top compartment. This will prevent them form getting to any nursing moms who remain in the bottom compartment.
So all of our babies are raised in a cage, this will make them used to using one before they go home.
We take great care and attention of all of our rats sparing no expense to do so costing us $1400 in this case. We are very happy to say the rattery is now complete with the latest technology in caging, water systems, and diets. And of coarse they are spoiled completely rotten with tons of toys, beds, hiding holes,hammocks and what ever else I can think of to give them. This is part of why this remodel just cost me so much. But I am happy with it and they are truly worth it! I just love these little buggers!
But shhhhh don't tell my husband what I just spent!
