What cage would work for both rats and degus? (not housed together)?
I currently have pet rats, but I am thinking of getting degus when I no longer have them (they are both over a year). I want to make sure I do plenty of research so I am ready to take on the responsibility of degus. I currently have my rats in a large modified bird cage, with added levels/hammocks. It fits 2 rats comfortably (used multiple calculators) but I don't think it would be big enough for degus. I am wondering if there is a cage I could get, that I could use with my rats now, and also with the degus. I'm looking for something around 100 dollars, maybe a little more, but not too much. The Critter Nation seems a little expensive, so maybe a little less than that. Any suggestion? Also any good websites/information on degus would be greatly appreciated.
At the forhappydogs website, the final cost of the CN is 160 dollars because of shipping. The cheapest I could find it was 140 at CSN stores

You can get a single critter nation here for about $112:

Martin's cages are also good. A chinchilla cage should accomodate both rats and degus:

Here is a cage calculator for degus:

I wouldnt try it,they probable have diverse nutritional needs,and rats are predators and would kill them,now to not coach that seeing that they're diverse species,what's a praise to at least one,will be a insult to the different ensuing in disagreement (including the Clampettes flipping the Californians off on the Beverly hill billy's)
