What kind of cage is best for a pet mouse?

The best home for your pet mice is a wire cage with a plastic tray floor. Tanks can be used, but it's important that they have ventilation holes in them (as some vivariums do) and a secure wire lid. Avoid deep aquariums as they may not provide the right air flow.

Are hamster tunnels big enough for rats?

Probably not. Rats require more room than a hamster does to run around in. Rats also grow to be much larger than a hamster, so if it was specifically designed for a hamster, I doubt it will be large enough or suitable for him when he gets bigger.

What is the best habitat for a hamster?

Hamster love to dig and climb so cages with deep plastic bases and wire tops work well. You can give them areas to dig and they'll also love to climb the bars of their cage. Make sure you choose a cage that's big enough for your breed of hamster – if in doubt, the bigger the better.
