no website online at the moment
i've taken interest in building garden structures more these days
so a sedgwic in the garden site may appear one day

the important thigns to look for in rat cages:
1. nothing that is easily chewed --- while not like gerbils, who can chew through steel, rats can be destructive.
2. i've produced as many as 100 rats a month (when i had a LOT of snakes to feed) and i noticed they breed a lot better, and stay healthier, in open air cages, as opposed to tanks with screened lids.
3. 3 and 4 inch PVC pipe fittings make excellent tunnels for them to lounge in.
4. geta diet that works well (in example, they don't have runny poop) and stick to it, change is not good.
