LICG advice & space requirements for rats

Sufficient living space is essential for the well-being of rats. The LICG (National Information Centre for Companion Animals) recommends an enclosure with sufficient floor space and height for rats, allowing them to climb, run, and exhibit natural behavior.

Guidelines according to the LICG (continuous space):

Rats: minimum 0.5 m² floor area and preferably at least approx. 70 cm height
This Savic Freddy 2 Rat Cage has a floor area of approximately 0.40 m² (80 × 50 cm) and a height of 63 cm.

✔ Suitable for young rats and smaller rat breeds (such as dwarf rats)
For adult rats or rats kept in a permanent group, we recommend a larger and higher enclosure in the long term, so that you comply with LICG guidelines and the animals ' welfare remains optimal.

Thanks to the fine bar spacing of 9.5 mm, this cage is safe for young and small rats. For long-term housing of adult rats, a larger, higher enclosure is a more humane choice.

Savic Freddy 2 – Also suitable as a mouse cage

• a small group of mice

How to get the most out of this rat cage

How do you properly set up this rat cage?

The Savic Freddy 2 is a compact rat cage with limited height, suitable for temporary use or very small groups. A smart design is especially important here.

We recommend this cage:

• Minimum 2 hammocks, one low and one higher
• A closed sleeping house for peace and security
• Light climbing toys such as short ropes
• Foraging toys to prevent boredom

Because the height is limited (63 cm), the focus is mainly on comfort and tranquility, less on intensive climbing.

Is this rat cage suitable for your situation?

This rat cage is suitable when you:

• want to temporarily house 1–2 rats
• Looking for a compact cage (e.g. guest or quarantine cage)
• Have limited space

For long-term housing, we recommend a larger rat cage with more height and floor space.

How many rats is the Savic Freddy 2 suitable for?

This rat cage is primarily suitable for very small groups, preferably 1 or 2 rats. Its compact size makes it less suitable for larger groups or very active rats.

Is this rat cage suitable as a main residence?

This cage is only suitable as a primary residence to a limited extent. For long-term housing, we recommend a rat cage with more floor space and/or height.

Where is the best place to place this rat cage?

Place the cage in a quiet, natural area, away from drafts and direct sunlight. A slightly elevated spot provides rats with a better overview and peace.

Is this cage suitable for mice as a main residence?

Yes, for a small group of mice, this cage is suitable as a main residence, provided it is furnished appropriately for the species with sufficient ground cover, hiding places and enrichment.

How do you set up this cage for mice?

For mice the emphasis is on safety, shelter and enrichment on the soil.

We recommend for mice:

• A thick layer of ground cover to dig in
• Multiple shelters and tunnels
• Cork, cardboard or wood for natural enrichment
• Limited climbing equipment at low altitude
• Possibly a mouse wheel (species-appropriate size)

Tip from DRD: Always provide multiple hiding places so mice can retreat and live stress-free.

Where is the best place to place this cage for mice?

• In a quiet room, out of direct sunlight
• On a stable surface, not on the floor
• Away from draughts and temperature fluctuations

Mice are sensitive to stress and temperature changes, so a quiet place is extra important.

When is this cage less suitable for mice?

For larger groups of mice or for mouse owners who want to offer a lot of digging depth, we recommend a larger or lower cage with more floor surface.
