What cramped conditions are you talking about?

I forget who posted it, but the cage will nicely house 8 rats (Adult rats). I only have 5 rats in that cage & the most 6 rats. Each rat has her own nest box. When the babies are born they cannot move (as in running around the cage) & do not require anymore space then their nest. The babies will not be old enough to leave the nest by the time they are removed, therefore the cage is not too small...biggest reason why I only deal with feeder babies(as I have said before) & not adults, I cannot house that many adults & never want to either, as messing up the sex could happen & all hell could break loose & I'm not risking that!
