Trying to decide which of these would be best for my needs. I can get them for similar prices - the SCN new for $140 with free shipping, or the FF used in a CL ad for $130. The used FF looks like it's in great shape, they even have the original hammock that came with it. Looks barely used.
Anyway, I need a cage for 3 male rats, the most I could ever see myself having is 5 but 3 is much more likely. Cage liners are not a very good option for me, since I go to the coin-op laundry, so I would need a bass pan for the CN. Would I still need to use a liner for the upper shelf? It looks like the FF has a grated floor and a slide-out pan, can you assemble it without the floor?
Space is also a consideration for me, I'm leaning towards the FF because it's still big with not as large a footprint. I live in a one-bedroom apartment. Feisty Ferret owners, what are the actual cage dimensions without the stand? How many rats?
Decisions, decisions...
