Cages
I have various cages that I use for different purposes. All measurements are approximate and are in the format of width x depth x height.
Savic Royal Suite
I am lucky enough to own three of these, and they are my preferred cages for permanent housing of groups. They measure 95cm x 63cm x 120cm (159cm including space underneath the cage). Each cage can be easily split into two sections to house separate groups, and even when only using half the cage it is a really nice size. There are four doors allowing you to open up the whole of the front of the cage, giving you fantastic access. It does mean you have to be a little more creative when putting in shelves and accessories, but it is more than worth it.
Savic Freddy 2
I have two of these. Each measures 80cm x 50cm x 63cm. They have a big door on the front which is easy for humans to open but not for rats, and cleaning it is a dream due to its good access and coated bars.
Personally I am not a fan of these for permanent cages, there is nothing wrong with them but I prefer to give my rats a little more space. I would say this is the smallest size of cage that should be used as a permanent home for any rats, and I wouldn't keep more than 3 in there.
My main use for these cages is for fosters, especially for young litters. Also if I have new rats I will often put them in one of these while they settle in, or when I am doing introductions and need a smaller, bare cage they can come in handy.
Critter One
At 70cm x 44cm x 35cm, this all metal cage is not suitable as permanent housing for any rats. However, it is a useful cage to have around due to the fact it flatpacks, so is handy for emergencies. Its main use here is as an introduction cage.
Mickey Max
This is 50cm x 36cm x 23cm. In my view it is not suitable to house any pets, however it does make a good hospital cage. We mostly use this when a rat is going in for surgery, or if we have to severely limit their movement for whatever reason.
Guinea Pig Cage (Unknown Brand)
I say guinea pig cage as it was marketed as such, although I hope no-one would keep guineas in there! It is a little larger than the Mickey Max, and again is used as a hospital cage.

In addition to the above we have two rabbit cages, a FOP Yole, a Zoozone tank and a variety of different style carriers to use for vet visits etc.
