I have a new 8 week old chihuahua and am looking for a crate that is about 12" long, 8" wide, and 10" tall. Does anyone know where I can find one for a somewhat affordable price??
Answer
Get a crate for your dog's adult size, not the puppy size. You'll save money that way. Many crates come with a divider so the puppy can be contained in a smaller area, then as the dog grows, the divider is removed.

If you want a plastic crate and can't find them small enough in the dog section, look in the cat section. (My dogs have cat crates and cat beds. The size is right and for some reason cat stuff is often cheaper than dog stuff.)

blair-witc
i might be getting a rat and i want to know if i could use a big dog cage or turtle tank for a cage. i would like glue little stairs and platforms on it if i could. im not being cheap. i just want to know :]
ohhhh. so if i get 2 rats how big do you think the cage should be?
love, kelly. i- uh - uh - i mean the blair witch!!!! muhahahahaha?
what if i get this for a 10 gallon tank (which i have) http://www.petco.com/product/10806/Small-Animal-High-Rise.aspx would that work?
Answer
Wire dog crates have too much spacing between the bars. Plastic dog crates? Well, they're plastic and rats LOVE to chew, so it would be a bad combination.
Turtle tanks are not recommended, due to the low air circulation.
Glue can be dangerous, if ingested.
It's best to get a large WIRE cage with spacing of 1/2 inch between the bars.
It's also best to get 2 or more rats. Never get a single rat! They're happier with a friend, and you should want optimal happiness for them.
EDIT: The cage I purchased for 2 adult male rats is the Super Pet My First Home for Exotics ($99)

Get anything similar in dimensions, and it should be just fine.
