A practical addition to safer cage layouts
Tall rat cages provide fantastic
opportunities for climbing and
exploration, but large, open
spaces can also create the
potential for dangerous falls.
Our Fall-Breaker is designed
to help interrupt these open
spaces by providing a soft,
suspended surface between
cage levels.
At approximately 750 × 240mm,
its long, narrow design makes
it particularly useful for
positioning beneath climbing
routes, platforms and other
elevated cage accessories.
As well as helping break up
potential fall distances,
it can provide another
place for your rats to
pause, rest and explore.
Supporting rats with changing mobility
As rats age, some may develop
reduced mobility or
hind leg degeneration (HLD).
This can make navigating
traditional cage layouts
more challenging.
Fall-Breakers can form part
of a thoughtfully adapted
cage setup, helping reduce
exposed gaps and providing
additional resting surfaces.
For rats with significant
mobility difficulties,
cage height, access routes
and fall distances should
also be assessed and
adjusted to their needs.

Thoughtful cage design matters. 🐾
Fall-Breakers are intended
to complement a well-planned
cage setup. They do not
eliminate the risk of injury,
and should be securely fitted
with suitable coverage of
exposed drops.
