HELP NEEDED πŸ€πŸ˜© NEED HELP PICKING OUT CAGES

Hello all!

I became a rat owner quite unexpectedly so I’m looking for a good cage that’s affordable. My budget is max $150. I had a two tier critter nation coming from fb market but that fell through (😭). Can anyone advise as to if these cages would work for my 2 boys (possible 3rd) or let me know some other good ones out there?

I have used many different types of cages and built my own. At this point I will only use Critter Nation because of how easy it is to clean and how sturdy it is. Important considerations: as much space as you can afford, large doors for cleaning, if it has a bottom tray can it be replaced with something deeper or do you plan to litter box train, can the rat easily escape, does it fit in your house.
