Please input all units in inches. If you need a conversion, 1 inch is about 2.5 centimeters.
Other information:
- The program assumes 2 cubic feet of space per rat. This is equivalent to a 15"x15"x15" cube.
- For 1.5 cubic feet of space (a 13.8"x13.8"x13.8" cube), multiply the
cage calculator answer by 1.3.
- For 1 cubic foot of space (a 12"x12"x12" cube),
multiply the cage calculator answer by 2.
This means for a 24"x24"x24" cage:
- The cage calculator says 4 rats.
- For 1.5 cubic feet per rat, the cage is big enough for 5.3 rats (4*1.3)
- For 1 cubic foot per rat, the cage is big enough for 8 rats (4*2)
