🤔DOUBLE FERPLAST FURAT CAGE : REVIEW 🤔

Here's my thoughts on having stacked two ferplast furat cages together! If you've done the same with two furat cages let me know what you think down in the comments! I hope you're all looking forward to seeing my new, bigger cage once it's set up next month!

I love where you have your leaf insect! She fits in perfectly with your other little plants there 😍

@@Emiology Can you also do this with the furet xl cages?

[@amyeldon298]

I just got another one of these for my 4 rats (they are babies so now too big to have 4 in a single!) so excited to set it all up tomorrow

[@KayosKreativ]

:D Can't wait to see your petplanet setup! It'll definitely give me ideas for mine :) Excited to see you got this over the Liberta one :D and I hope you really like it!

I couldn't find the Liberta explorer for sale anywhere online, hoping this one is worth the £40 less though! 😊

Imee's World it's definitely served me well so far 😁

Everyone who has it seems to love it so I'm excited!

Yay I cant wait for the new cage and your new BABIES!!!

[@sindicta5757]

Have you considered putting the cages side by side? i think it could work pretty well but it's hard to know since I can't physically test it

[@Emiology]

You can do if you have the floor space ☺️

[@НаталіяІ-б8ф]

How do you open the doors? It kills me to open them. I use only top door, but it's so unconvenient.

[@rubiemay]

i know im 2yrs late lol, but they become loose after a while of opening and closing so it gets easier each time

[@gut4183]

Hi, I just got the same cage but the doors are extremely hard to open. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it's the cage, any help?

[@НаталіяІ-б8ф]

I have same problem here. I've seen million videos and I see all cages just open. I hate opening mine! It's been a year since your comment. Did you find a way to open it without breaking fingers or doors?

Do you have to get a double or can I just get one? I’m hoping to be getting two male rats so idk if one would be big enough or not

[@charissimpson235]

One of these cages is suitable for 4 male rats (this is according to the rat cage calculator, I know she said it’s 2)

[@outbound2672]

@@charissimpson235 they always say 2 rats and I'm just like all the calculators say 4

[@charissimpson235]

@@outbound2672 usually the rat cage calculators aren’t always completely accurate so i tend to look at that as a maximum and if the calculator says for example 4 rats i would only put two in it.

[@mhilmyfauzi4523]

3:44 because you were talking about the shelves, I thought it was similar to the previous scene where you just showing the shelves. It wasn't just showing the shelf.

Amazing Review Imee!

[@chillyopportunities7803]

Great video!!! 😄😄😄

[@tombowers790]

Don't understand why you say it can only hold 4 when rat cage calculator says 7 giving either 2.5 cubic feet per rat which is generous and can give them 2 cubic feet which is the minimum recommended and fit 8. It also if dependent on how well you use the space

[@Emiology]

It does depend on how you use the space but don’t always trust that cage calculator. A single one of these cages in the calculator says you can have four rats in there, which just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Some people prefer to give their rats a bit more space and not stick to the minimum, but definitely this cage packed full of ropes and hammocks will be suitable for more rats than it if was more empty.

[@tombowers790]

Stating that it depends on how the space is used i would have thought be quite important to inform people, especially for new owners and none of this was explained in the video. No where have I come across this opinion of needing more space than recommended by every rat society ive looked at so could you please explain why/how you came to this decision? As I think it would help people make an informed choice as there's already so much contradictory information anyway

[@Emiology]

It's more so common sense when owning any animal to offer them more space than the minimum if you can, as the minimum is only there as a guide line but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's something you should stick to, with any animal you should always aim to provide them with more than just what they require to survive, whether thats more space etc. Maybe you should look into joining some rat facebook groups, as these things are often discussed there, and I've seen many people ask on there how many rats they can house in their cages and often they are told to take the rat cage calculator with a 'pinch of salt'. I came to this decision through owning rats, and understanding how much space they use individually and how important it can be sometimes for them to be able to move away from their cagemates, and personally I would not keep more than 4, possibly 5 male rats in this cage at a push, because I prefer my rats to have more space, and I know many rat owners that share the same view. I'm sorry if it upsets you so much that I'm trying to promote rat owners to not overcrowd their animals and give them as much space as they can possibly provide, instead of encouraging people to always stick to the minimum.

[@tombowers790]

@@Emiology it doesn't upset me I'm just trying to understand why you're saying that as you've put yourself forward as someone to give advice. Sorry if this upsets you. I'm part of many groups and haven't come across your opinion before so wanted to understand it

[@chillyopportunities7803]

With the single cage, I've seen one with grey poles and one with blue. Are they the same cages?

[@Emiology]

Yep! There seems to be slightly different models but they fit together. You can also get the same cage with a red base too 😊

Sick video

[@annabellejackson520]

Brilliant review 👍👍

[@bambihawkburg8362]

Do you think it's necessary to put fleece on shelves? So they don't pee directly on the plastic, or no? I am getting my first rat boys!! Although I have researched and I know as much as I can, but you don't learn everything until you experience it!! xxx

[@Emiology]

If you're getting young rats, its more useful to take the shelves out and replace them with things like wooden ladders and ropes to encourage them to climb and be more active. You can just leave shelves like this bare, although you do end up having to wipe it everyday. The shape of the shelves that come with this cage in this video are an awkward shape so probably hard to cover with anything, some cages come with square metal shelves which are easier to cover, people use a range of things to cover them like fleece, newspaper, vetbed or puppy pads, all things to look into and decide which you'd prefer and the pros and cons of them :)

[@bambihawkburg8362]

Thanks for the advice!! :)

[@abbiewright7964]

Hi are your male rats neutered thankyou

No they're not 😊

Thankyou i am thinking of getting male rats in the future

can i get this cage in the US

I'm not sure sorry! Does anyone from the US know?

[@hamsterheaven6935]

its ok im not even sure if i will get rats

[@tiffany-ef6gm]

I dont think so ♡

[@snowpawzvideos]

The Double Critternation is roughly the same size, more sturdy with better doors, & is available in America. For hamsters, width is more important than height.

[@outbound2672]

i think it could house 6 rats

[@cora.makes.art.1960]

I wish I could get this for my sugar glider but I don’t have the space nor the money to get it...

@@Emiology what cage would you recommend

[@chelseabelfield8581]

When pausing the video on the new cage that you ordered I discovered that it's the same cage that I have from the same place, and I'd just like to say that you may have missed out on a deal as I ordered mine a month ago and it was £150 (£10 cheaper) and it came with a food bowl a water bottle and 2 free back- nature-2-nature sample bedding bags. Pros: -Sturdy -Somewhat quiet -Has a gap at the bottom (To store food and bedding etc...) -Plenty of space -Large doors -Easy for older rats to get around Cons: -Vertical bars -Not as fun for baby rats (Can't hang as much stuff up on the bottom of the cage to jump) Honestly it's an amazing cage and I've struggled to think of cons for it. If you need more information the Instagram is @5_rats_are_escape_artists.

[@Emiology]

I saw that deal a month ago and it's not cheaper anymore 😭 (not when I ordered it at least) thanks for the pros and cons of the cage too!

[@gladysoterosantamarina7909]

Hello! I love your videos and im a huge fan of your instagram rat account :) I was wondering if you have any video explaining what materials are best at absorbing rat pee and also the less smelliest ones. I'm interested in crafting some hammocs and bedding stuff for future rats, but I dont know proper materials. If you could tell me I would be eternally grateful :) Thank you a lot!

[@garywebster3585]

The door to this cage is dysfunctional. It is extremely difficult to open and close without distorting the bars and using a ridiculous amount of force. The company's video gives no indication of this. Had I known I would not have bought it. Its a lazy inept design.

[@Emiology]

Perhaps you got a faulty one!
