What Animal Could I Keep In a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft Indoor Rabbit Cage? (not a rabbit lol)?

[wallyreptiles]

hi there..im not gonna go and get a animal just because i have a "spare cage". im just wondering if i should keep this cage in case i ever want an animal that this cage is suitable for.
What Animal Could I Keep In a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft Indoor Rabbit Cage? (not a rabbit)?

i hav a indoor rabbit cage that measures 4ft x 2ft x 2ft aprox. anything but a rabbit lol. reptiles?, (not tortoise), birds parrots?? rodents? the space between each metal bar is about 1 inch. the door opens on top and theres also a small opening on the front.
a spotlight for a reptile could be used... is it tall enough for parrots... could rats get through the bars...

pair of ferrets

as long as you get them out and play with them all the time.. that size will be sufficient

[pigglywiggly]

pygmy hedgehogs?

[stephenie191]

GUINEA PIGS - a pair
FERRETS - single or pair
PYGMY HEDGEHOG (SP?)
RATS?

The more exotic things should be read up on - theres ALOT of other rodents that are more expensive available

edit: bar width may actualy be a bit too wide for finches,, oh and yes it woul be perfect for rats

ferrets

[LoveForLizards]

If you wanted rats they would have to be adult males, saying that, even my adult males (pretty "normal" sized) can get through 1"x1" bars. Ferrets would be ok but they would need at least 3 hours out of the cage and if the bars are any bigger then 1"x2" then even adult females are likely to get out of it, and even kit males.
