Rats - Updated on the cage I'm getting.

::Edit::

I've decided to go for the critter 2 cage or very similar.


Its about the best looking cage I've seen around here and it looks like I could really build it up with asessories for them Im definatly going for a cage like this and then I can make it rat proof by putting down some suitable flooring for them







I'm getting a rat!!

I need some advice on some cages if I post some links here to some sites can I get everyones opinion? I have a big space to put the cage but Its not really wide but the height and the length wouldnt be a problem at all, Also I cant have an avery because it needs to be sat on a table. I looked at the "Jenny" cage at pets at home it would be perfect if it was slightly less wide, It looks so much bigger than in the photo! I saw a chipmunk cage which looked very good, It was very tall and very long and it looked like it would fit in well here but it was all wired on the bottom but I could change that if it was suitable for a rat to live in.
This cage looks like the chipmunk cage I saw..

(The one I saw was much longer and taller)
I also saw the savic Freddy cage that has been mentioned on alot of sites,

But, I saw it in pets at home and although its a big cage it doesnt look like its big enough for a grown rat to live in, I was set on getting this cage before I saw it and I've changed my mind now!
I just want something I can really make interesting for the rat to live in and the freddy cage didnt look big enough for much at all.

I also know that rats should be housed in 2's or more but I only want one female, I know they need to be socialised alot and that they need alot of time out of the cage, I've done the research and spoken to a few owners some of who have owned rats on their own.
