Kaytee Critterhome Habitats for Small Animals
Ferrets, pet rats and chinchillas have a natural instinct to climb. Therefore, when selecting the ideal housing for this natural instinct it is best to choose a tall cage which allows for plenty of vertical space. For pet rats, take special note to select a cage with half-inch wire spacing, as they are able to squeeze between very small spaces and escape. For pet rabbit, the bigger the cage is the better! Cages do not need to be vertically tall, but instead, should offer plenty of length. Rabbits are very active and energetic animals that need enough space to live comfortably. Also essential to a pet rabbit’s housing is a deep base with high sides to minimize scattered bedding and food outside the cage.
