Rat cage with platforms and wheels – 78 × 52 × 138 cm

A well-thought-out rat cage for active, curious rats

Rats are smart, social, and highly active animals. They need not only space, but also height, challenge, and variety. This tall rat cage with multiple levels was designed with exactly that in mind. The cage offers plenty of opportunities for climbing, resting, and exploring, while you benefit from ease of use and a clear overview.

At a whopping 138 cm tall, with multiple levels, a comfortable hammock, and sturdy steps, this is an ideal habitat for adult rats who enjoy exercise and exploring their surroundings. The pull-out tray makes cleaning easy, while the caster wheels make moving the cage effortless.

✔ Lots of height and multiple platforms for climbing and enrichment
✔ Includes a hammock for relaxing moments
✔ Extendable drawer: quick and hygienic cleaning
✔ Sturdy castor wheels, easy to move
✔ Suitable for adult rats in small groups
✔ Practical design with many design options
Due to the 2 cm bar spacing , this cage is not suitable for young rats or very small animals.

This rat cage combines vertical space with a functional design. Rats make extensive use of height: they enjoy climbing, clambering, and resting on different levels. The multiple platforms increase the living space and provide variety in their daily behavior.

It's important to know that height never replaces basic floor space. This cage has a floor area of approximately 0.41 m² (78 × 52 cm). This makes it suitable for a small group of adult rats (preferably two), provided the cage is properly furnished with hammocks, platforms, toys, and hiding places.

For larger groups or as a long-term primary residence, we always recommend a larger floor area to ensure you fully comply with the guidelines for optimal rat welfare.

Thanks to the pull-out tray, maintenance remains minimal and hygienic—ideal for busy households, families, or beginners. The included hammock and platforms make the cage ready to use immediately, while also leaving room for your own personal decoration.

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 uninterrupted floor space and height for rats, allowing them to run, climb, and exhibit their natural behavior.

Guidelines according to the LICG (continuous space):

Rats: minimum 0.5 m² floor space and preferably sufficient height for climbing and enrichment

This rat cage has a floor area of approximately 0.41 m² (78 × 52 cm) and a height of 138 cm.

✔ Suitable for adult rats in a small group (preferably 2 rats), provided it is properly equipped
For more rats or as a primary residence long-term , we recommend a larger floor area to ensure full compliance with LICG guidelines and to provide rats with sufficient space to run and rest.

The multiple platforms and the high ceiling provide valuable enrichment, but don't replace the necessary basic floor space. Due to the 2 cm bar spacing, this cage is not suitable for young rats, but is suitable for adult animals.
